Rich Hot Chocolate for One

Submitted by JessFontenot

"I make this perfectly rich and easy hot chocolate for myself most mornings. It's lowfat, sugar free, and I'd rather the antioxidants from this versus caffeine from coffee. This is way better than those questionable, hardly chocolatey, who-knows-whats-in-them packets."

I made this for lunch today and enjoyed it a lot. My sis also taste-tested it and loved it. :) I used oat milk in place of the regular milk and since that's naturally more sweet, I left out the splenda. The cocoa was rich as stated, very easy and quick to make and just perfect on this cool fall day. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Jess!<br/>Made and reviewed for one of my babies during PAC Fall 2011.

This is the perfect amount of cocoa powder. I used a regular brand. I loved it. Thanks Jafontenot :) Made for PAC Spring 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
