When you think of great hot chocolate, you generally think of New England, the upper Midwest, and other cold weather areas.
Maybe so, but do not overlook Louisiana. Specifically, South Louisiana, where food and drink are taken very seriously.
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.
Add 2 1/2 cups of Coffee-Mate or a similar product.
Add eighteen ounces of Nestle's cocoa mix.
Add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar, and mix everything together thoroughly.
When the mixture is completed, add two heaping teaspoons to a cup of hot water to try it, and add a bit more of any ingredient to suit your taste. It is great as is, but I generally add a bit more cocoa.
You'll love it.
