2 ounces baking chocolate
1 cup water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 dash salt
3 cups milk
Melt chocolate in the water over low heat stirring until mixture is well blended and smooth. Add sugar and salt and boil 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually stir in the milk then heat thoroughly (do not boil). Just before serving, beat with a whisk or an electric beater until frothy.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Not sure what others are doing wrong. This is a classic hot chocolate recipe. Maybe they aren't using the right chocolate? I've made this many times and it's quite good. It's what I know as hot chocolate from scratch - like my mom made when I was a kid.

This just doesn't work well. Its like chocolate suspension. If a double boiler is supposed to be used, say so in the first sentence.
No, you do not use a double boiler. The chocolate is blended with the water in the first step.

It was ok but bland. I added 1tsp. almond extract, 1tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/4c. sugar and it tasted great that way (I also used skim milk).
