A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

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.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

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).
