Spiced Hot Chocolate

"Adapted from a recipe in Better Homes & Gardens Meals for 1 or 2. Sorry, made this last night and it tasted like something was missing and I realized it was the cinnamon. It was in the directions, but I accidentally left it out of the ingredients list. It's been updated now."

  2. Easy to make and yummy! I used low-fat milk to make this guilt-free. Particularly liked the cardamom flavor and the combination of spices was just delicious. A definite keeper! Thank you so much for sharing.
     
  3. I really enjoyed this spicy hot chocolate, the combination of spices was excellant. It was delicious and exotic tasting, hot, sweet, spicy, smooth and thick, with just a hint of orange and vanilla, quick and easy to make. Just perfect, thanks so much for sharing.
     
  4. This was quite tasty and the cardamom was a pleasant surprise change from most spiced hot chocolate. Particularly liked the orange flavor and added a bit extra. Thanks!
     
  5. Although it's way too hot here for hot chocolate, I made this for the Zaar World tour. It was good, although I did think it needed a bit more sugar.
