| and do you have a special recipe or favorite brand? I like Stephens Dulce De Leche Caramel and of course with marshmellow cream..yummm |
| Posted by: VetteGal 07-Jan-2005, 10:03 PM |
| Actually, I do like the normal brands with the mini-marshmellows. I know, but I like the marshmellows when they first go in as they are still a bit hard and not all soggy like normal marshmellows get when you add them. I know, I'm weird. |

| Posted by: Rindy1202 07-Jan-2005, 10:23 PM | ||
3Ravens would you be willing to give out that mocha receipe? I love mocha but always get to much coffee in mine... I guess we are talking coffee in mocha yes or no?  |
| Posted by: VetteGal 07-Jan-2005, 10:28 PM |
| Coffee, Now that is something I have never liked the taste or even really the smell of. Now tea on the other hand, I love. |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 07-Jan-2005, 10:40 PM |
You might not like mine, Rindy. I make my own because the store ones don't have the rigt amount of ciffee. I suppose you could adjust tho....  *goes looking of recipe* |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 07-Jan-2005, 10:53 PM | ||
that is so sweet of you 3Ravens. I don't need it this minute. I see VettaGal is offline so I guess you are next if you hurry up! I don't know how much more my index finger can handle. Come on now you can do it!! |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 07-Jan-2005, 10:58 PM |
| Ummmmm, when I look at the recipe, this is actually a mocha coffe mix, so it might be too much coffee for you, but here goes..... 1 Cup instant coffee granules 1 1/2 Cups unsweetened cocoa 1 1/2 Cups powdered instant dry milk ( don't even try the non-instant kind, the Voice of Experience says it Will Not Work!) 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon 2 Tablespoons dried orange peel Combine all ingredients, keep in an airtight jar. 1 quart canning jar works well. To use, put 3 tablespoons mix in a mug, add 8 ounces hot water, sweeten to taste, and exjoy! |

| 5 more! I don't remember, did you say you like your Hot chocolate with or without marshmallows? |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 07-Jan-2005, 11:52 PM |
| Without, please, marshmellows are for toasting into s'mores. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 07-Jan-2005, 11:54 PM |
| I like marshmallows anytime, anywhere! |
| Posted by: MDF3530 08-Jan-2005, 12:07 AM |
| Any kind of store-bought syrup or mix (Hershey, Quik, Swiss Miss, etc.), but made with MILK, not hot water! And I have to have marshmallows. I don't normally buy hot chocolate out, but if I do I go to a coffee place. They make it with milk. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 12:09 AM |
| I agree, Mike! Milk makes it SO much better! |
| Posted by: MDF3530 08-Jan-2005, 12:18 AM | ||
Milk goes down easier than water, don't it ? |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 12:20 AM |
| Sure does! Makes it creamier and frothier (is that a word?) |
| Posted by: VetteGal 08-Jan-2005, 01:00 AM |
| Or you could say foamier. Is that a word? Who knows? |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 01:03 AM |
| To be on the safe side, i'll jsut leave it at "It makes it better!" |
| Posted by: VetteGal 08-Jan-2005, 02:28 AM | ||
Makes what better? |
| Posted by: Monarch's Own 08-Jan-2005, 06:26 AM |
| I personally drink Ovaltine but only the Rich Chocolate style not the Malt Chocolate. Mixed either with hot or cold milk. Sometimes I put Marshmellow in - sometimes not. Other then that I love also my Milk Mixes in the tastes of Vanilla, Banana or Peach. Unfortunatly you can't buy those here so my Mum has to send me a constant supply of that from Germany.  |

| My favorite hot chocolate is one that 7-11 had over the holidays, it was hersheys with York peppermint patty flavor, thick and rich, the best I've ever had! Lil |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 09-Jan-2005, 02:15 PM | ||
Yumm! Lil, that sounds DIVINE! |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 09-Jan-2005, 02:26 PM |
| Ewwwwwwww, why ruin perfectly good hot chocolate with mint? Ick! Ugh! Oooey! Blegh!   |
| Posted by: MDF3530 09-Jan-2005, 02:43 PM | ||
The stuff they have in the espresso makers in convenience stores is NOT hot chocolate. It is made with water. Real hot chocolate is made with MILK. Hot cocoa is made with water. |

| About 10 years ago Hallmark came out with a card line and calendar line that had to do with exactly this line about Chocolate. It was a cute line that preceded "the Maggie" line. The cards always had something cute inside them like" on the front of the card : I never met a chocolate I liked inside: but my hips did very cute line back then |

| I like to add a little almond flavoring to my cup of hot chocolate and yes I drink the instant type, fat free with 50 calories. When you get that craving for chocolate and trying to cut calories, it taste good! REAL GOOD! maggiemahone1 |
| Posted by: Lil 09-Jan-2005, 09:38 PM | ||
ahh, that's true, but I love it anyway!!!!! Lil |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 09-Jan-2005, 10:33 PM |
| You lassies are making me very thirsty for some hot CHOCOLATE! Anyway I can get it. I wonder what is the perfect temperature of hot chocolate. I like it to melt the marshmellow cream or mellows I am starting to drool  |
| Posted by: Irish Stepper 10-Jan-2005, 07:11 AM |
| I like Swiss Miss's Cocoa and Cream flavor as well as the Chocolate Sensation flavor. Then I take a spoonful of frozen Cool Whip and put it on top. Yummy! |
| Posted by: jpmoore 10-Jan-2005, 10:58 AM |
| All right! Thats it! I am going down to the breakroom right now and get a cup of hot chocolate!!!   |
| Posted by: catlynelizabeth 10-Jan-2005, 06:48 PM |
| I love hot cocoa especially with whip cream. Its soooo yummy. There has to be a lot of chocolate in the hot cocoa but not so much that its over powering but enought that it doesnt taste like flavored water and then the whip cream adds that nice cream flavor and sweetness. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 10-Jan-2005, 07:09 PM |
| At Christmas time, my wife likes to fix these little treats... She takes these pretty Christmas glasses and fills them with hot chocolate (made with milk, we're not picky about the brand, its all good to us!), then she puts a cinnamon-flavored candy cane in, tops it with whipped cream and then puts green and red Christmas sprinkles on top! Its very good! |
| Posted by: Lil 11-Jan-2005, 08:23 AM |
| oooh, that does sound good, Wizard! I love the taste and scent of cinnamon it's the potpourri that I keep going in my house all year practically! Lil |

| Having grown up playing hockey outdoors in the Canadian prairies, Hot chocolate holds a special place for me. So many winter mornings were spent warming up in the club house with a hot chocolate between periods. Now that I am older, have children of my own, and live in a differnt climate I still love hot chocolate. Only now we have a lot fewer snow days, the kids like marshmellows in theirs, and I get to add a bit of Baileys or Drambuie to mine |
| Posted by: mealltach 11-Jan-2005, 07:08 PM |
| mmm HOT CHOCOLATE!!! My favorite is served at the holy chapel of St. Arbucks (All hail the divine Bean) but modified slightly from the usual recipe. Here's how to order it Grande Breve Hot Chocolate with 3 pumps mocha 1 pump cinnamon and 1 pump of chai. This just rocks!  |

| During the winter alot of the bars up here get quite imanginative with their hot chocolate. So far my favorite is the hot chocolate mixed with Capt. Morgan Coconut Rum....kind of a hot liquid mounds bar |

| Oh, you gotta make cocoa with milk, not water. Still liking that mocha thing -- I sometimes dose my cocoa with a coffee liqueur like Tia Maria or Kahlua, and a float of cream on top. |
