Hot Chocolate To Die For

These amounts are for 1 cup. Combine in double boiler the milk chocolate, butter, and vanilla. stir till melted and smooth. Add the half-and-half.

Add this very slowly and do not boil. serve over a handful of mini marshmallows and garnish with a bit of nutmeg.

Variations: substitute dark semisweet chocolate or white chocolate.

Try adding some liqueurs--Kahlua to go with the milk chocolate; Cointreau (goes with the dark chocolate); or peppermint Schnapps with the white chocolate.
