Frozen Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is not something you can have year-round in Florida, but FROZEN hot chocolate is!  And now that we (temporarily) have a blender it is a frequent meal treat.

Ours went too fast, so I stole this photo from the link below:





4oz of your favorite chocolate
2 teaspoons store-bought hot chocolate powder
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups ice cube
slightly sweetened whipped cream
chocolate shavings (optional)
Chop chocolate into small pieces and melt in microwave on low heat. Once melted, add hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup milk, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature.In blender, place the remaining 1 cup milk, room-temperature chocolate mixture and ice.Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Enjoy!
Makes about 4 8 oz. servings from one batch.

Yummy! I'm so going to try this for FHE. I think my kids will love it. They are all about HOT cocoa right now, but I'm sure this will be a hit.
