Directions
Old-Fashioned Hot Chocolate, I lifted this recipe for Le Chocolat Chaud a l’Ancienne from an old chocolate blog and it’s intro reads: For a short period, Starbucks offered a premium hot chocolate beverage called Chantico It was the best hot chocolate drink that could be bought: it was an intense rich chocolate beverage, coming in a tiny cup and enough to fill you up Sadly, not enough people bought it and it was discontinued But Ive found a good recipe on this site and adapted it a little bit for my tastes, and let me tell you, the result is amazing If you decide to make this on a cold wintry December night, just dont try to drink too much its very rich!, wonderfully rich! used less butter and unsweetened cocoa powder (with a bit more sugar) Thanks!
