Decided to make a thread to chat in the event forum, may have contests eventually not sure yet. feel free to drop in for a chat and some hot cocoa, with marshmallows of course!

[Monorea]

And cinnamon sticks i hope?

[Tohopekaliga]

An entire manor made of marshmallows? Sounds soft and delicious!

[Monorea]

It sounds pretty ill planed to me tho.

[Tohopekaliga]

Will probably get into a sticky situation pretty quick, all told.

[Monorea]

Yeah especially if there is heat involved. Wait a minute is that a fireplace........

I came in for some hot cocoa! I was going to buy some at the store today for $1, but I forgot. ;_;

[daikokunyo]

I like to call it 'Hot Chocolate' because I'm chocosexual

[Monorea]

Well there can also sometimes be a different in the recipe between hot chocolate and hot cocoa.

[daikokunyo]

True.

I always think 'Confabulations' sounds like a way of saying 'Fab!' and 'Congratulations' at the same time. It doesn't sound like just a discussion.

[Monorea]

Well it sounds like the two words yes but it doesnt feel like something you would say when talking about fabulousness or congratulations.
Anyways googled the world and learned something new.
Memory disturbances, those are pretty common aren't they?

I've got this variety pack of hot chocolate mixes. French Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Caramel...All quite tasty. :D

[Monorea]

I don't like mixes like that whenever i can i prefer making stuff from scratch.
Especially the whipped cream and marshmallows.
Well the marshmallows dont always turn out better but it still is fun to have homemade ones.

[Tiva]

I have done mixes but unless it is a super good mix I prefer making it.

Herseys give you the recipe right on the box, and it is super easy.

[Monorea]

Cool, share with the community maybe?

[Tiva]

Hersey's cocoa ¼ cup
Sugar ½ cup
Pinch of salt

Stir the dry ingredients together in a large pot then add ⅓ a cup of hot water
Turn the mixture on medium high heat and stir until it starts to boil
Add in 4 cups of milk and reduce heat to a simmer
Stir some more and add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract
Wait for the mixture to heat up and divide out
Make 4 servings (or 3 in my house with big cups)

Personally I have added in peppermint extract in place of vanilla, it was good
Have added in chocolate chips (Unneeded)
Opted out of water and used Rum Chata instead (makes it take good but cooks out my alcohol)
Used a half milk half cream mix to make it richer
Used a half milk half creamy booze to make it boozy
