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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
