I don’t know how to skate or rollerblade, which is a bit uncommon for a Canadian. When I was in primary school, our class would walk to the skating rink for skating lessons. Most of my friends took figure skating classes and were zipping around the rink while I clung to the side walls. When our family went skating, my mom would make me do a couple circuits of the rink before she would let me stop. My feet were cold, my toes were numb, I didn’t know what I was doing, and I was miserable. The only bright point was when we stopped at the snack bar for Jolly Ranchers, Miss Vickie’s potato chips, and hot chocolate. I was so cold that I couldn’t wait for the hot chocolate to cool, so I would burn my tongue. Always. Always! Even now, sometimes I can’t wait for food to cool before eating it and I make funny faces and do some mouth breathing, much to Ryan’s bemusement. Hot chocolate always reminds me of those miserable days that turned out delicious.
This is a great mix to have on hand whenever you have a hankering for hot chocolate, and it also makes a great gift. Adding the chocolate chips makes the finished hot chocolate that much richer. Just make sure that you let the hot chocolate cool before you drink it.
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until the chocolate chips are ground pretty fine.
- Measure the mix into a jar and seal.
- Put 3 heaping tablespoons into a cup of hot milk. Stir and enjoy.
