why are you using Splenda, coffee creamer, and water in your hot chocolate?

Cocoa, sugar, 50% condensed milk, 50% whole milk.

I know. I am a real sugar Coke/Pepsi/MT Dew kinda guy. Just thought real sugar would be overkill.

Because it tastes great. I didn't have any cream so Coffemate had to do.... Try it, it's awesome

I keep a mason jar full of Droste cocoa and another of sugar on my desk. A spoon of each, and then right next to my desk is a spring water dispenser thingy that also does steaming hot water. Instant cocoa whenever! I do like it better with milk, though, but I'm lazy.

With sweetened condensed milk, you shouldn't need any sugar.

Hmmmm..... Maybe he means evaporated milk? Or maybe he just likes it super sweet.

Former Navy friend of mine would put it in his coffee. Said they always had there in Mess, right next to the hot coffee spigot, - he'd move his hand over a bit like he was holding the cup and pull the lever.... It's not bad either....

Mom used to mix dry milk with the coco when we were kids.

Also made a lot with just warm milk and coco.

When i was on a big dose of prednisone i lived of hot coco for a week to keep me calm.

I like the mint hot cocoa that comes in the little packages with bits of crushed up candy canes.

2 pkgs of hot chocolate mix,milk,cinnamon and a little bit of pure vanilla extract.

I made some from whole milk, unsweetened baking chocolate, sugar, vanilla, and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon and shaved chocolate the other day. It turned out great and the kids loved it. I think the instant hot cocoa's better, lol.

It was a big family thing to stop at a truck stop/diner on the way to and from the cabin in MT.
Great big mugs with cool whip added.

My wife makes me a mug most evenings during the winter. She puts a good handful of the little marshmallows on top and it is VERY good.

When I was younger I kept a bottle of peppermint schnapps on hand to give it a little warming quality when I had been outside shovelling snow. Good stuff!

Spend too much time with the expensive call girl, and she just seems cheap. Swiss Miss is the everyday shit.

Droste is best, though.

Mix it in with half water, half milk.

Had a girlfriend a while back that loved this stuff and got me hooked. It has a significant caffeine kick to it though I don't drink it past 8pm unless I want to stay up til 2...

Man card my ass. Good is good! She's not around but I still drink the mocha!

Why not keep some dried milk too? Just cocoa and sugar in water sounds nasty.

I love hot chocolate - but I don't drink it, it's too fattening!
Everyone I know that drinks hot chocolate is a waddling fatty.
As much as I like it I'd rather be thin.....

Cocoa, Sugar and Milk.

Other things may be added, but only heathens use instant mixes and/or water.

Unless you're camping, then it's all good.
