I made this tonight because my husband was craving chocolate. We didn't have anything chocolate on hand, and I didn't feel like cleaning up the kitchen and baking and all that. At first, I made just a little bit, using 4 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. cocoa, and 1/2 tsp. hot water. We ate some plain and then dipped strawberries in it. We were impressed but both agreed it might be better made with milk. So, I microwaved 1 tsp. milk for about fifteen seconds, just to get it warm enough to melt into the cocoa and sugar, and made twice as much as the first time. All in all, we really liked it; and I almost feel guilty and a bit devious for finding a way to get a chocolate fix this easy! Since my original review, I've started using this in lieu of frosting too. Thank you!

This was soooooo good and easy easy easy! I had to use 2 Tbsp water to dissolve the sugar & cocoa completely. Added a sprinkle of cinnamon and may try adding chili or vanilla next time (and there will be so many next times!) Polished this off with some shortbread cookies. I'm thinking banana slices would also be good dipped in this (I'll have to try that soon.) Thank you so much Vye (and Vye's mother!) for this recipe!

I love to bake, especially when I can try different flavors and unusual combinatins. Someday I'd love to own a bakery, but for now I'm still just experimenting.
