I made this right after school just for fun and it was very quick and easy. I also used fat-free milk so it had fewer calories and it was still good. Read More

This was a way over rated recipe. All the hard work of grating the chocolate was enough to turn me off from the begining. It isn t good tasting and it takes a long time to do. If you want hot chocolate get it out of a packet!!! Read More

Good recipe however I made some modifications before I was happy. I got rid of the microwave completely and cooked in a sauce pan. The egg gives it nice texture. To get rid of the egg bits simply pour the completed hot chocolate through a strainer. Also I doubled the chocolate chips. Read More
