Snowed in Hot Chocolate

We live in south Florida, and so we aren’t dealing with the snow issues most of our Northeast friends are dealing with. Regardless, it is sub 60 degrees here in West Palm (yes, brrrrr), we have a HUGE bowl of left over Halloween candy, and our the kids are looking for some Hot Chocolate. We HAVE been to the grocery story today and Cocoa was not an item that made it onto our shopping list - so what’s a girl to do?
MacGyver the Halloween stash:
Ingredients
10 mini Snickers Bars (about 1 cup chopped)
1/4 Cup Buttermilk (optional - sub w/ 1/2 & 1/2 instead)
1/4 Cup Half & Half
2 Cups milk
2 tbs sugar
Directions
1. Chop the Snickers.
2. Combine the Snickers and sugar in a saucepan. Add the buttermilk and half & half.
3. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you whisk. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn’t scorch.
4. Stir in milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and strain into mugs through a sieve.
5. (Optional) Add Whipped Cream to the mugs & cool it to drinking temperature.
That’s ours — feel free to embellish, but PLEASE tell us what you did!
Hi! I saw this on twitter. I believe in “death by chocolate”, lol, so I saved your recipe tweet as a favorite. I try to watch my calories but now I deserve this. I’m going to make it your way and report back (no buttermilk tonight). I guess I can believe you didn’t get any comments, sigh, because my awesome blog doesn’t get many either. I feel this is a great tragedy since hot cocoa comforts us humans, naughty and nice, it never lets us down, Smile!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
