TO DIE FOR HOT CHOCOLATE
This is probably the richest cup of hot chocolate that I have ever had! We made it with milk and used a French vanilla flavor creamer. Perfect for a sleigh ride or a cuddle by the fire. (Would make a great gift, too!)

Steps:
- 1. Stir together all ingredients in a a LARGE bowl (preferably one with a lid for freshness). I use a tupperware layer cake saver as my bowl and the bottom as my lid. It takes some time to really get all this incorporated well, but make sure you do!
- 2. For each individual serving put 1/3 cup mix in a large (minimum 8 oz, but more along a 10 oz) coffee cup, add mix before adding either water or milk, heat to desired temperature and stir until chips melt, add extra marshmallows on top or whipped cream. We prefer to use milk because it is richer and creamer.
- 3. This is great as a gift for friends or neighbors in decorative tins or glass jars for Christmas. Be sure to include on your gift tag how much is needed per serving. ENJOY! If you put this in an airtight container it will last approximately 1 yr.

Steps:
- These amounts are for 1 cup.

- Variations: substitute dark semisweet chocolate or white chocolate.
- Try adding some liqueurs--Kahlua to go with the milk chocolate; Cointreau (goes with the dark chocolate); or peppermint Schnapps with the white chocolate.
CHOCOLATE CAKE TO DIE FOR
This is a moist, sweet, chocolatey/fudgy cake that a former co-worker of mine used to bake for potlucks at work. She gave me the recipe to me when I left. I'm not sure where she got the recipe from. NOTE: Although the recipe calls for a 16oz jar of Mrs. Richardson's hot fudge, you can of course use a jar of your favorite fudge. I used a jar of Hershey's hot fudge once because it was on sale, but prefer the Mrs. Richardson's one more. Also, this recipe has the cake topped with whipped cream and crushed candy bars, but I've served the cake with just the hot fudge topping, and still got rave reviews (no one minded the holes on the top of the cake).

Steps:
- Bake cake according to directions.
- Immediately after baking, poke holes all over cake with end of wooden spoon (like aerating your lawn).
- Pour can of condensed milk on top of the cake (filling in the holes as much as possible--I often use a spatula to scrape condensed milk that has gathered at the edge of the pan into the holes).
- Melt jar of hot fudge and pour that over the cake (covering the top of the cake with fudge, but again, filling in the holes as much as possible. I also use a spatula here to scrape hot fudge that has gathered at the edge of the pan into the holes).
- Before serving, top cake with Cool Whip and crushed Score or Heath Bar. (optional, but covers up the holes to make the cake look more presentable).
HOT COCOA TO DIE FOR
It's Christmas in July!!! This is the ONLY way I make cocoa. It's rich, decadent and a special treat...winter OR summer (in the air conditioning of course).

Steps:
- In desired drinking mug, combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. Should have consistency slightly runnier than cake frosting.
- Add hot water...whisk until frothy. I know adding the peppers sounds weird...but you can't tell it's specifically in there. It just adds depth and a little "bite".
- Can top it off with mini marshies or whipped cream...but seriously, it doesn't need it.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Use whole milk: Whole milk will give your hot chocolate a richer flavor and texture than skim or low-fat milk.
- Don't boil the milk: Boiling the milk will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the milk until it is just simmering, then remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate.
- Add a little salt: A pinch of salt will help to balance the sweetness of the chocolate and make the flavors pop.
- Use flavored extracts or spices: You can add a variety of different flavors to your hot chocolate by using flavored extracts or spices. Some popular choices include vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and peppermint.
- Top with whipped cream or marshmallows: Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic way to top hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that is sure to please everyone.
Conclusion:
Hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious cup of hot chocolate at home. So next time you're craving something sweet and warm, give one of these recipes a try.
