We found this recipe several years ago and hot chocolate has never been the same! This recipe beats every homemade concoction we've tried--and there are some goodies out there.
Ingredients:
1 (14 oz) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (we've used other brands and they work, too.)
1/2 Cup unsweetened Cocoa (we usually use Hersey's brand)
1.5 tsp Vanilla
1/8 tsp Salt
3 Cups Hot Water
3.5 Cups Milk*
Mini Marshmallows (opt)
Whipped Cream (opt)
Ground Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Chili Powder (opt)
1. In a large sauce pan, over Medium heat, combine Sweetened Condensed Milk, Cocoa, Vanilla, and Salt. Mix Well.
2. Mix in the water and the milk. Heat through, stirring frequently. Do not boil.
Serve with mallows or whipped cream and a dash of spice. Questioning the chili powder? Ever seen the movie "Chocolat"? That's where we got the idea and it really is quite good.
*The original recipe called for 6.5 Cups Water, but we like it with the milk. It makes it creamy.
