A windy, rainy stomp home from school this afternoon inspired a bit of chocolate mixing and whisking- the nicest thing to drink in the depths of winter, we think. I first wrote about this a couple of years ago here– and I used a recipe from an old copy of The Vegetarian Epicure, by Anna Thomas. I modified the recipe a bit, but it's basically this one. 

And speaking of chocolate, I think these 'building blocks' look rather lovely. Might have to make those next.

    Thank you so much! I made this tonight for hubby and I once our daughters went to bed. So delicious! I’ll have to make it again for the girls, it’s too good not to share!

    You really are making me longing for the next seasons … which are probably my favorite ones. I bet the hot chocolates were heavenly, thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
    I hope everything is fine with you & yours.

    Those mugs of chocolate look absolutely delicious. I like the actual mugs too, and the sweet small hands.

    I love those cups. I didnt realise they were so big last time you showed them. They look perfect for a cup of hot cocoa.

    That looks absolutely delicious- such a rich colour! And your mugs are beautiful; where did you get them from? For some reason your photographs make me think of snowy Scandinavian winters 🙂

    Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing ? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.

    Thank You Melissa, I made this recipe in the hope it would be like the chocolate I drank along with the churro’s I ate for breakfast every day for a week that I was in Spain…it is the very same! It was years ago & I have often wondered what the recipe would be. I cut back a little on the sugar & my kids & myself loved it, Thanks :))
