Hot Cocoa Amazingness!

I love hot chocolate, especially the ready-to-make, just-add hot water, in-a-packet kind. I know that may sound absurd to hot chocolate connoisseurs, but whatevs!

Being the indulgent person that I am sometimes, I picked up a tin of hot chocolate from Jacques Torres . I can eat this mix straight from the tin with just a spoon, its sooooo good. Which I have done, by the way. The first tin I bought of this was gone within a few days and I had never actually made a hot chocolate with it.  So with a few nudges from Bartek, I actually made the hot chocolate this time around.

It has giant chunks of gourmet chocolate in it. It is absolutely delicious.

The label on the tin says to mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of chocolate. After tasting it, I think you can definitely add about half of the amount of chocolate. Its way too much. Here is the final product. Good lord, its so thick!

I added some frothed milk too. Yum!

Here is my giant fail of the night. How do you people that make hot cocoa with milk heat up the milk? I always burn it!! Look at this grossness....it gets all stuck to the bottom of the pan!
