White Hot Chocolate

recipe from
Martha Stewart

Sometimes a cup of hot chocolate is just what the occasion calls for, and this white hot chocolate recipe puts ut a really yummy twist on an old favorite. You may think hot chocolate drinks are all the same, but that simply is not true. All hot chocolate recipes are NOT created equal. Now I'll be the first to admit that there is not one single iota of low-fat anything about this hot chocolate recipe, but this gourmet hot chocolate truly tastes incedible. With a hint of milk chocolate and a rich, creamy texture, it's for sure the best hot chocolate I have ever had--100% delicious and worth every calorie! Be sure to use a top-quality white chocolate to ensure the best flavor, such as Barry Callebaut White Chocolate Chunks or Baking Bars or Schokinag White Chocolate Baking Chunks or Baking Bars

Hot Toddies : Mulled Wine, Buttered Rum, Spiced Cider, and Other Soul-Warming Winter Drinks
