I'd add just a tad more cocoa, but otherwise, delicious! -
Followed recipe exactly, except replaced milk with Silk brand Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk, used 2 tsps of cocoa, used regular sugar, and a handful of mini marshmallows (love marshmallows!). Thanks for this nice chocolate fix, Greg Ryan, it's very tasty. :) -
Delicious and easy, BUT I had to double the cocoa powder to make it chocolaty enough. 4 stars because its so much richer than the packets mixed with water though. -
My little boy (4 yrs. old) asked me to make him a hot drink because he was cold. This worked perfectly. I used the half and half and it was delicious, plus he could use an extra pound! Thank you Greg Ryan!!!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I learned to cook out of desperation. My Grandmother was a great "Down Home" cook and she spoiled me. My Mom was into TV Dinners, yes those things that used to come on a foil tray. Yuk.
My first experience with cooking actually was in Boy Scouts over a campfire. After a few times at cooking, I allways got "drafted" because all the other kids likes my cooking better.
I've dome all the cooking for my family for over 30 years. and my kids are so spoiled, when they come home for college, they turn down going out and want me to cook. (Can you say "Spoiled")
I only really follow a recipe when I'm baking. The rest of the time I either modify it, or I just wing it with out a recipe. ( It pays to write stuff down when you do this though because sometimes you stumble on something awesome, and then you can't recreate it)
