Let the festivities begin with this delicious adult hot chocolate bar. Now let me tell you that this isn't a low calorie hot chocolate. It is loaded in sugar but not too high in fat. If you want to indulge and pay later this one is for you. If you love chocolate and you feel cold to the bone and need a little warm comfort this one is for you. I use one of my favorite ingredients to decrease the fat.
Serves 8-10
Ingredients:
16 ounces evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk (whole, 2% or 1%- your choice)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, more if you like it a little more chocolaty
Instructions:
Heat the evaporated milk, condensed milk and milk in a large sauce pan on medium high heat. Add the cocoa powder and cook on low until dissolved.Optional:
For the spirits:
I like pralines and cream but Bailey's, Kahlua, Godiva chocolate and Chambord are also good. It only takes a little to add the flavor; about 1 tablespoon/cup.
Cooking Wiser:
Evaporated milk is low in fat. To decrease the amount of fat even more use low fat or fat free condensed milk and 1% milk.Sugar is a tough one. I don't like the bitter taste of artificial sweeteners but if you need to control sugar, use 1 package instant sugar free chocolate pudding mix and add 1 additional cup of milk (1 or 2%).
