Submitted by Ms. K

"Got this from Country Cooks Magazine. It is just like hot chocolate from Paris. The better the quality of the chocolate chips- the better the hot chocolate!"

Stuff like this is a hit with the ladies. I would advise to add a splash of vanilla extract. I am going to attempt a version for Christmas using 1/2 Baileys Irish Cream and 1/2 heavy cream.

Very good recipe that I have made many times. I like to make the balls a bit bigger, using about a 1/4 cup of the ganache for each one. I still use 1 cup of milk with one ball to make the hot chocolate. Rich and delish.
