    I used milk chocolate so I reduced the sugar to 3/8 cup. Very rich but I expected that since I have tried the thick hot chocolate at Max Brenner. I may reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup next time if I use milk chocolate again.

    My fiance and I made this together, and it was a fun project for us to do. The final result is really tasty, but very very rich like others have said. I like the thickness, it's a nice change of pace from the store bought hot chocolate mixes. I love chocolate but could only handle a small glass of this.

    Too thick, too sweet, too much work for hot chocolate. As it cooled it turned into almost a pudding, it was just too think for my taste. I would personally reduce the amount of sugar, I prefer it more rich. Also, you shouldn't have to put in this much work to get a great hot chocolate. But it did have a nice flavor.

    This is just what the doctor ordered! AND I made it just like the recipe called for the first time. Second try I added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.( made it even better tasting!This is SUPPOSED to be thicker than what most people are used to in a hot chocolate recipe.I have a feeling that this would make an absolutely Fabulous base for chocolate ice cream if you just chill it for about 4 hours before freezing.. I'll let you know when I get a new ice cream churn!!

    I've always wanted to go to some chocolate shop and sample some rich chocolate drink like they made in the movie "Chocolat". This is perfect, although I made some changes to suit my diet. I used rice milk, and since it is sweeter than regular milk, I added only two teaspoons of sucanat (real sugar, and because most things are too sweet for me anyway. Then I used only 3.5 oz of dark Hershey's chocolate. It was a perfectly smooth, not too thick hot drink. I love it. It hit the spot.

    If you haven't been to NY and the Max Brenner restaurant, make this and add in another 1/3 as much steamed milk when you serve it to thin it out.

    I substituted 1/4 cup Advocaat (Dutch egg liqueur for the egg yolks in the custard, and added a couple tablespoons of Belle de Brillet (pear brandy to give it a seriously complex flavor.
