I was about to run out to the store to get candy bars when I decided to try white chocolate chips that I already had. This was so good that my 5 year old son said "I could scream...this is DELICIOUS!" I cut the recipe to one serving and I used the microwave for the chips in one cup and milk in the another, at the same time. I added the cornstarch to the choc. and then the milk. I will still try with the bars later but I am tickled with this using the white chips. We will definetly be having this alot when it gets cold. Heck, we will have it alot when it's warm! :) Thank you for the keeper Jessica K!!! Made for ZWT3- Remembering Amy.

Yum! My husband ate it with a spoon! I found the 2 tbsp of corn starch to be a bit much, I ended up adding an extra 3/4 cup of milk to thin it back out. I used dark chocolate chips and 2% milk.

I did a half serve of this and did a little experimenting. Instead of plain chocolate I used milky ways & so they wouldn't foam & burn in the microwave I microwaved them with the milk. The result was a decadent & creamy hot chocolate that was to die for. Made for ZWT III.

This is a chocolate lover's dream. I just got back from Hershey Park in Pennsylvania and used freshly made chocolate bars from the factory. Decadent and delicious! Made for ZWT3 2007.
