Ok, for all you dieters, I’m telling you now, just walk away. This really isn’t going to help you in your weight loss; it’s a true fatty fatty bo batty beverage.
It’s a recipe that I and a chef friend concocted when, shall we say were a tad ehem, “jolly”.
Its melt in the mouth stuff and my pregnant girlfriend swears by it, so you know it has to be good, perfect as well given the dam right “tropical” weather that we all have been experiencing.
*Take 1kg of Cadbury dairy milk choc, break in half and stick one half in a pan.
*Heat the pan GENTLY until the chocolate starts to melt.
*Continue gently heating the choc until it’s all but liquid.
*Now the fun part, slowly add 250ml double cream, not all at once mind, as the chocolate will solidify again (and you’ll end up with brown death). Stir gently as you add the cream, just to allow a good mix.
*For the love of all things fattening, DONT let the mix boil. It will taste like shit and the mixture will separate.
*The next part, as they say is up to you.
How thick do you like your hot chocolate? I personally like mine a bit thicker than good batter (poor comparison, I’ll admit).
*For this consistency, add 500ml full milk (a pint of milk for those unschooled in ml’s).
*Again as with the cream, don’t add too fast, and stir as you do so. This will help you avoid the dreaded lumps.
*And, finally, serve!
I like mine with whipped cream, no marshmallows, I fucking hate them, but if that’s your bag, go nuts. Oh, or even add nuts, why the hell not.
I’m sorry if you can’t get hold of British chocolate where you are, but any milk choc should suffice...it won’t be as good, but it should get the job done.
Now for those that will say that this is pretty much just “hot chocolate”, I say to you, read the title cretin. It is what it is, fun in a glass.

Any flavor of rum is delicious with hot chocolate, as well as coffee. I once made a hot buttered rum drink during winter, and it was DELICIOUS.
