Dark-As-Sin-Death-By-Hot-Chocolate
"I was fiddling in the kitchen, trying to come up with something like that chocolate drink that Starbucks discontinued a couple years ago and came up with this.....whoo dang, good! But, if you don't like dark, use a milk chocolate instead, and add more sugar to counter the cocoa.This drink is best served in about 1/3-1/2 cup quantities, and sipped little bits in between nibbles of fruit or pound cake."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm newly married and attending school, I'm always on the look out for quick and easy, and on the days I have more time in the kitchen, I like anything. My husband considers himself very blessed (and he better) that I like cooking at all, let alone that I like cooking as much as I do.
