Hot Chocolate To Die For

1. These amounts are for 1 cup.

2. Combine in double boiler the milk chocolate, butter, and vanilla.

3. Stir till melted and smooth.

4. Add the half-and-half. Add this very slowly and do not boil.

5. Serve over a handful of mini marshmallows and garnish with a bit of nutmeg.

6. Variations: substitute dark semisweet chocolate or white chocolate.

7. Try adding some liqueurs--Kahlua to go with the milk chocolate; Cointreau (goes with the dark chocolate); or peppermint Schnapps with the white chocolate.
