Hot Chocolate on a Cold Night

As a self described chocoholic I really can not live without some form of chocolate at least once a day. On cold winter nights what I love is a warm cup of sweet hot coco. Oh what a delight it is to come out of the cold and sip a wonderful mug of that lusciousness! I desire a gourmet style concoction. Marshmallows are optional.
Growing up on powdered packets of Swiss Miss mixed with hot water was a treat as a child. As I have matured and have broadened my palate and I prefer brands like Godiva and Ghirardelli. My family holds Godiva in the highest regard. My Aunt purposely pronounces the name GOD-i-VA with the emphasis on the first syllable.
I am also a fan of Carnation Instant Breakfast due to the nutritional element included in their product. I am a devoted user of this confection made by Nestle. Every morning since I can remember I have consumed the rich milk chocolate drink cold for my morning kick start. However, recently I have been experimenting with other flavors and found a hot chocolate drink recipe made with the dark chocolate powder available in the variety pack. This is good any time of day. Give it a try!

Here is the recipe.
