Don't bother chopping up chocolate, this recipe calls for easy-to-use chocolate chips. This is a pretty strong but mellow hot chocolate cocktail.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup half-n-half
  • 1/2 cup rum
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup hazelnut liqueur (Frangelico)

Preparation:

You don't really need to chop the chocolate chips, but you can if you want the chocolate to melt really quickly. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or whatever method you prefer.

In another small saucepan heat milk, half-n-half cream and sugar to almost boiling. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the chocolate and mix well. Pour into the rest of the milk and stir until smooth. Pour in rum and liqueur. Heat the finished hot chocolate through, and serve.
