On winter weekends, when all the neighborhood kids congregate at our house, I swiftly go through about a half-gallon of milk preparing hot cocoa for them.
Usually I use Ovaltine, but last weekend I ran out and began making it according to the recipe on the side of the Hershey's cocoa box.
I don't think I can go back now!
Give it a try and you'll see what I mean...espscially if you are a chocolate-lover such as I...

This sounded so perfectly wonderful for a cold and rainy day after a long day of painting cabinets.. I so wish I wasn't on such a restrictive diet (but its been working) So I decided to make lemonade out of lemons or in this case hot chocolate out of carob powder.
I tried it with powdered low fat milk, organic raw sugar, sea salt and carob powder.
How was it, you ask?
Less than picturesque. Sweet , yay. But chalky and NOT chocolate!! I am having a major chocolate craving and MISS IT SOOO BAD!
I keep getting mouthfuls of exploding powdery chunks.
