Holy hot chocolate, Batman! I made a large batch of this for a Christmas party and kept it warm in my crockpot. This is by far the best hot chocolate I've ever had! I used half milk and half cream as a substitute for the 1/2 and 1/2 (since it is, by its very nature, half cream and half milk - and I didn't want to spend the money on a carton of 1/2 and 1/2, haha), and used a combination of Hershey's Special Dark and a dark Lindt bar that I saw at the store. I can't wait to try this using white chocolate! Thanks for such a delicious recipe. :)

Oh My Goodness, if you wnat indulgence this is it! This is truly outstanding. I used bittersweet chocolate for a creation made in heaven. This would also be incredible with Amaretto. It's very quick and easy to make. Kittzen you have outdone yourself.

After tasting this wonderful combination, how could I ever possibly return to a mix? This hot chocolate is sheer heaven! It is very easy to prepare and is so very tasty. I used 2% milk which worked out very well with the 88% Cocoa Dark Chocolate that I used. I will definitely make this one again! Thanks again, Kittencal!

Rich and delicious! I used Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate and included a small pinch of sugar. My coffee mug held a quarter-batch of this wonderful hot chocolate. And I'm already looking forward to another cupful ~ Thanks Kitten!

Pleasure! Yes it was! I used low fat milk and didn`t miss the fat at all. This is very rich. I used bittersweet chocolate and skipped the sugar! You don`t need it with the Kahlua. Thanks for a great, cosy, warming drink for a cold night!
