I just had to post this great picture of my kids having so much fun in the snow. They had 10 inches at their house this morning. In spite of the harsh winter and hectic stressful nature of the season, or maybe because of all that, I'm glad they are able to take some time out to enjoy actually being together with each other. Now it's time to come inside and have some of Grandma's hot chocolate. To far to drive, so here is the recipe!
Grandma LeAnn's Hot Chocolate
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup Ghirardelli sweet ground chocolate
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 quart half and half
2 cups water
Mini marshmallows (optional)
In a large saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, ground chocolate, vanilla and salt;
mix well.
Over medium heat, slowly stir in milk and water; heat through, stirring occasionally.
DO NOT BOIL
Top with marshmallows, if desired.
TIP: Chocolate can be stored in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Mix well and reheat before serving.
