Superb!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This hot chocolate is extremely delicious. Watch out not to add too much cocoa. I have been making this recipe for about 3... years now and I make it year round. The measurements for all the ingredients is right on the dot. Don't change a thing. Absolutely delicious. The best I have ever tasted.Read more

Add a cup of sugar, and this recipe is perfect! Taste great refrigerated, too. I used fat-free condensed milk, and it's... just as creamy. Read more

Tasty!!

I just made this for my family and my son said it was best ever. I did add some sugar because it was a little bitter at... first. I think I perfected the recipe and will be making this often during the winter season!Read more

odd taste
Rated: 2 stars out of 5
