Hot Chocolate Recipe Tips

You can easily invent your own hot chocolate recipe! Yummy additions to basic hot chocolate include whip cream, cinnamon, vanilla, almond, orange or peppermint extracts, shaved chocolate, malted milk powder, candy canes, a peppermint tea bag, marshmallows, and ground hazelnuts. Be creative! Have fun!
You don’t need to use cane sugar. Honey and other sugar substitutes work equally well.
I usually drink soy or rice milk, but I don’t like the taste in hot chocolate. Instead, I use about 2/3 boiling water and 1/3 cold soymilk just for thickness. Sometimes I will cheat and add a bit of instant powdered milk, too.
If you are using powdered milk, make sure to use instant. Regular dry milk tends to get very lumpy. For super rich cocoa, try using part half and half!
For iced (not frozen) hot chocolate, make a large batch. Allow the mixture to cool, then put half into ice cube trays and freeze, and put the rest in the fridge. When the cubes are ready, add them to the refrigerated chocolate

why you should love chocolate

Forget death by chocolate. More and more research is showing that high quality, dark chocolate (or cocoa or cacao) may actually improve your health. Here are 13 reasons to love chocolate: 1.  Chocolate, cocoa, and cacao are high in the mineral magnesium which is essential for over 500 functions in your body , including:  heart health and muscle function. 2.  Chocolate may reduce the risk of heart failure.  Murray Mittleman and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School studied data on 31,823 middle-aged and elderly Swedish women to assess the relationship between chocolate and heart failure.  The women who consumed an average of one to two servings (that’s a fairly small amount) of high-quality, cocoa-rich chocolate per week had a 32 percent lower risk of experiencing heart failure.  Those women who ate one to three servings a month had a 26 percent lower risk of heart failure.  See my article “Nutrient Slashes Risk of Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Osteoporosis” for more inf
