Hot Cocoa

I got this recipe from my dear friend, Erin G.. She is a GREAT cook & she ALWAYS shares her yummy recipes with me. I hope she doesn't mind that I am sharing it with you! I have made two batches of this Hot Chocolate just this week alone. One pot for Christmas Eve & one for Christmas day.It was a HUGE hit & it makes a ton. You can put it in your Crock Pot & enjoy it all day long. Our favorite, is to add a candy cane(the chunky, soft candy cane sticks) & whip cream on top-YUMMO. The first time I made it, i used evaporated milk because I bought that by mistake! It still tasted GREAT! The condensed milk makes it a little sweeter(I think). I also used Stephen's milk chocolate hot cocoa mix because I couldn't find the Belgian cocoa & it was DIVINE!


3 Quarts boiling water


1 can Belgian Cocoa Mix (generic about $1.50) approx. 16 oz.

1 large Symphony or Hershey bar, finely grated


Heat condensed milk in a small sauce pan.
