Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've always been a fan of HC, but since I've been trying to eat/drink a bit healther, I've been avoiding treats like this. I... tried it and It was delicious...and I don't feel guilty about having another mug full! I also want to experiement with mint flavoring as I love the taste of mint 'n chocolate together. Thanks E for this awesome & easy recipe!Read more

So Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend loves hot chocolate and I wanted to make some a little healthier from scratch (instead of the instant stuff!)... with this one I heated it all together in a small pot on the stove, using a wisk, it turned out great!! We are going to make this again and play with the different flavors we can add, like cinnamon!Read more

Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this was really good. I was in the mood for hot chocolate, but I didn't want to use heavy cream, or do any of the... other really fattening and time consuming extras. This recipe was perfect...if you want something sweeter that tastes more commercial you can probably add a little more chocolate or sugar to sweeten it, but I liked it how it was. Read more
