Hershey's cocoa has a great recipe on the back of the container. I'll just grab it so you can make it. this is for 6 servings.
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa (you can use any kind)
dash salt (don't omit gives it a great taste)
1/3 cup hot water
4 cups milk
3/4 tsp vanilla extract ( if you don't have use vanilla sugar just a drop 1 tsp.)
mix sugar, cocoa and silt in saucepan, stir in water
cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils
boil and stir 2 minutes
stir in milk and heat DO NOT BOIL
remove from heat add vanilla
this is really Delicious hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Answer 3

I luv hot chocolate! I would boil the milk, or microwave it, and I prefer the powder, but whatever you like. I have an excelent William Sonoma pepermint hot chocolate which is really good, but the hersheys one is also ok. I would add a little whipped cream to make it sweeter.

Answer 4

never boil milk, the consistancy is filmy...
start with a double boiler, melt chocolate and a dash of vanilla extract, slowly wisk in heated(not boiled)milk and a dash of sugar and wisk until a little frothy. pour in a large mug and top with whipped cream.i use whole milk for the richness. you can add peppermint candied or a hersheys kiss on top of the whipped cream y. you can also add marshmallows, or powdered cocoa or cinnamon...ENJOY!!!

Answer 5

With milk:
1) Warm up milk on the stove or in the microwave.
2) Add the powder (powder tastes much better)

With water:
1) Warm up water on the stove or in the microwave.
2) Add the powder
3) Optional (tastes better in my opinion). Add half in half.

Powder tastes much better I think. -Rayna

Answer 6

To make the absolute best, in my humble opinion...use milk, cocoa powder, sugar and a dash of salt. Heat milk in pan, stir in cocoa, sugar and a dash of salt. Amounts are on can. Don't let milk boil, just get hot. One thing to try, dip buttered toast in it, it's the best!

Answer 7

You can by ready made syrup add boiling water and cold milk..

Answer 9

Yes boil the milk. Use the syrup to line the mug and powder as the base, add a marsh mellow and if you don't mind, please make an extra one for me. Please!
