Hot Chocolate and Coffee

I have a new favorite chocolate coffee drink. This one isn't too sweet and is just chocolaty enough. You can adjust how strong of coffee you want.

Start by adding this stuff to a glass measuring cup

• 1 heaping Tbsp chocolate - Take a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Semi-sweet is important here. Crush them with a mallet or the side of a heavy knife or a can of soup. Then you measure.
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 c milk

Microwave until hot but not boiling. In my microwave it takes about 1 minute 40 seconds.

Stir well and pour into a good sized mug.

• Fill with strong hot coffee. Remember that the milk will dilute it. Pour directly from the pot or make it directly from the Keurig (or similar) machine right into the mug.

Top with

• whipped cream

It looks nice with a pinch of chocolate dust on top. Usually there's a little left from crushing the chocolate chips.

Drink and enjoy.
