Ingredients

Serves 4.

　　6 ounces semisweet chocolate bits

　　1 pint heavy cream

　　Pinch cinnamon

　　Whipped cream flavored with vanilla

　　

Step 1

Melt chocolate bits in a double boiler over hot water and stir in the cream. Heat just to boiling point, stirring constantly. Add the cinnamon and serve in 8-ounce chocolate cups topped with flavored whipped cream.

　　

Step 2

For mint flavored chocolate, place a mint patty in the bottom of each cup before pouring in the hot chocolate.

　　

Step 3

For a less rich drink, use half milk and half cream, or plain whole milk in place of the heavy cream.

　　

Step 4

To vary the drink and make it slightly alcoholic, use 1 to 2 dashes Grand Marnier instead of cinnamon.
