..it's definitley the perfect time to enjoy hot chocolate.
My little family loves their hot chocolate, and we go through quite a lot of it. We have too may flavors to count, and each person like their own little concotion of warm chocolatey sweetness.
But with hot chocolate you need marshmallows, and finding that we were all out, we decided to make our own. The kiddos couldn't believe that you could actually make them yourself, and they were so easy to make!!
We used this great recipe, and cut some into shapes (like hearts, and snowflakes) but found that they were more fun to eat in plain old squares. The best part of homemade marshmallows are how light and fluffy they are, and sweet, oh my!! The recipe made about 100 1" squares, so that should hold us till next week (grin)
Dave and I have recently stumbled upon a great find here in Seattle, Chocolati. They make their hot chocolate with melted chocolate and warm steamed milk. It is so rich, and absolutely divine. Unfortunately you can only get it at their shops. They do sell a mix, which even they say is close, but not nearly as good as the real thing.
In an effort to re-create it, or get somewhat close, I found this recipe for Truffle Hot Chocolate Balls. Again, a super easy recipe, with great results. Perfect for another snowy day like today.
