Make it at Home: Frozen Hot Chocolate

I was browsing Pinterest this morning and came across a recipe for Frozen Hot Chocolate, I was going grocery shopping today anyway, so I went ahead and picked up a few extra ingredients to make this yummy treat at home.

Here is where the original recipe comes from.

** A little note before starting, this recipe makes A LOT of Frozen Hot Chocolate, I recommend splitting it with a friend or if you're indulging in a treat alone, make half of what the recipe calls for.

 

Start by putting three cups of ice and one cup of milk in your blender, and set it a side.

 

 

 

In a double boiler melt 5-6 pieces of your favorite chocolate. I melted five sections of a milk chocolate Hershey's bar and one Reese's. When the chocolate it melted, add 2 teaspoons of store bought hot chocolate mix and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.

 

 

 

 When the hot chocolate and sugar are mixed into the melted chocolate, add half a cup of milk and mix it all together really well until it's smooth.

 



 

Put this mixture into the blender with the ice and milk and blend until there are no large chunks of ice left.

 

 

Add your favorite toppings, I put a dollop of whipped cream and a Reese's, Bryan opted for whipped cream and shaved pieces of dark chocolate.

 

 

This was a great addition to an already wonderful reading of lighting our jack-o-lanterns for the first time, and finding Nancy Drew books at the library.
