Ingredients




3 ounces of dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1 dried, orange peel (optional)
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 cups of milk (whole is best!)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Preparation

1 In a saucepan over low heat, add the milk, orange peel, cinnamon stick and brown sugar.  Do not boil!  Just let warm up (when you see bubbles forming around the edges, you are in good shape). 2 Let warm up for about 5 minutes. 3 Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate melds with the milk. 4 Whisk over heat until slightly frothy. 5 Take off heat and enjoy! 6 Add marshmallows!

About


This concoction is so rich that it really is more like drinkable, melted dark chocolate with hints of vanilla, cinnamon and orange.  If you want to do something really special for that beloved adult in your life, you could add a teaspoon (or more) of some orange liquor, or even dark rum (yum).  We kept it kosher in the house for our after movie treat.
