I was always taught that hot chocolate was made with chocolate and hot cocoa was made with cocoa powder. This is the richest hot chocolate you'll ever have. I don't remember where I got this recipe from. Add cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired. Serve in small tea or coffee cups, because it is very rich!

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1
Place chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and completely smooth, about 5 minutes. Add half-and-half slowly to avoid cooling chocolate mixture too much, stirring while you add it. Heat until hot but not boiling.

This is pure chocolate decadence! Oh my gosh, it's good! So easy to make too! I scaled this down to 1 1/2 servings, and it made enough for me and my hubby to share, since it's quite rich. You want to make sure to use a chocolate that you really really enjoy, as that effects the entire outcome of the hot chocolate. I used a 72% dark chocolate and loved how this turned out--rich, chocolaty, and not-too-sweet. One minor thing is that this will form a skin on top as it cools, so make sure to enjoy it immediately. Great recipe! Thank you so much!
