FIRESIDE FROZEN MOCHA (MAGIC BULLET)
Based on a recipe from my Magic Bullet to Go! Recipe Handbook camping section. It says, "The perfect pick-me-up for a mid-day slump! In just seconds, you'll have a frosty, refreshing, chocolate-y coffee drink that will be the envy of neighboring campers!" For one serving, halve the ingredients; for four servings, simply double the ingredients. I would presume this can also be made in a regular blender, so I've included directions for either.

Steps:
- Fill a blender with a cup of ice or The Magic Bullet's Tall Cup halfway with ice.
- Add chocolate syrup, milk, and sugar.
- Add a cup of coffee to the blender and mix until smooth or fill The Magic Bullet's Tall Cup ¾ full with coffee and mix with the Cross Blade until smooth.
- Pour mixture into 2 coffee cups.
- If desired, add whipping cream to the Short Cup and blend with the Flat Blade for about 5 seconds or use store-bought whipping cream in the can or make homemade whipping cream (I do this by chilling hand mixer beaters and bowl in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes; then I whip cream and some sugar or Grand Marnier until soft peaks form).
- Add whipped cream to the top of the coffee mixtures and serve.

FIRESIDE MOCHA
While I was compiling some recipes for my about-to-be-married, coffee-adoring friend, I came up with this, an improvisation of many recipes I've come across as a bartender and coffee lover. I've yet to try it, but I have a hard time believing it's not absolutely scrumptious. I made something similar on the stove-top in a large pot for a group of us on a ski trip in Maine. Let me know what you think. You could probably omit the kahlua if you're looking to limit your alcohol intake; the coffee should be strong so as to bring out the flavor.

- Get cozy by the fire and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality coffee: The foundation of a great mocha is a rich, flavorful coffee. Choose a dark roast coffee with a bold flavor that will stand up to the chocolate and milk.
- Use real chocolate: Don't skimp on the chocolate! Use high-quality dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of chocolate chips and cocoa powder.
- Steam the milk properly: Steaming the milk is an essential step in making a mocha. Steamed milk should be hot and frothy, but not too thick or bubbly. Use a milk frother or a saucepan to steam the milk.
- Layer the ingredients correctly: The order in which you layer the ingredients in your mocha is important. Start with the chocolate, then add the steamed milk, and finally top it off with the whipped cream. This will create a beautiful layered effect.
- Garnish with style: A little garnish can go a long way in making your mocha look and taste even better. Try topping it with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or cinnamon.
