Most folks think you will find the best hot chocolate in Maine, Vermont, North Dakota, Wisconsin and other snow belt states.
But, do not overlook the hot chocolate in South Louisiana, where the winters are almost nonexistent but the hot chocolate is terrific.
In fact, my very favorite hot chocolate recipe belongs to a university administrator, wife, and mother who grew up in Abbeville, where nearly everyone is an accomplished cook, even the men. Here is Amanda's recipe.
Start with 10 cups of dry powdered milk.
Combine it with two and a half cups of Coffee-Mate.
Mix in 18 ounces of Nestle's cocoa mix.
Add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar, and mix everything together thoroughly.
Amanda recommends that you try a cup of the cocoa (two heaping teaspoons in a cup of hot water), and add more of any ingredient you think it needs. I like the recipe as is, but I am hooked on chocolate, so I always add a little more cocoa.
Whether you make a little ingredient adjustment or not, you and your family will love the results.
