I thought this was great! I used hemp milk, which is sweetened. I also added a little agave nectar and cinnamon and omitted the salt. It was very rich, but good. Thanks! -
I scaled this down to one serving to have a late night "snack" that would help soothe my sore throat last night. I ended up making this twice, the first time I made it as written, and found the vanilla and salt to be too noticable for my tastes. The second time I omited both of those. It was very creamy, and rich. It really isn't very sweet (at least to me it wasn't)- think this is more of an "adult" version of hot chocolate. Thanks for sharing! -
Great recipe, thanks Kzim4!

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy.
I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
