    Just heat chocolate milk (i.e the one you buy in the chiller) and serve with cream on top...

    ...mouth's watering just thinking about it...

    ...off you go, what are you waiting for. That's how the Belgians do it and surely, they are the experts
    I haven't got one!
  • Hot melted bounty? I don't need any more convincing - I just wish I hadn't had so much tea now so I'll have to wait til tomorrow. :o

    heat the milk then pu tsome chocolate in it and whizz it in a blender
    thats how they make it in Bulgaria, but often with the welcome addition of a glug of brandy and some cream. I would not say that hot choc is very good for children as a bedtime drink, unless of course they are going to brush their teeth afterwards. ;)

  • I've made it before with chocolate spread/nutella mixed into hot milk & it was lovely!!!

    I have a bottle of Tia Maria that I might have to try this with... all mocha-y and yum.

    Lidl sell 70% cocoa solids dark choc 100g for something like 70p I think - will have to stock up.

    How can I wait the long hours til bedtime to try this?!?!?

  • Isn't that how they do hot chocolate in France - just grated plain chocolate melted in a little hot milk to make a paste and then top up with the rest of the hot milk and stir.

    By the way, Cointreau is very good added to a chocolate cake mix. :)
