HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE WITH OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUT STICKS
Steps:
- Bring the milk, chocolate, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk until completely melted and smooth.
- Serve with the Old-Fashioned Doughnut Sticks.
- For the dougnuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two 6-well eclair pans with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to combine. Add the milk, egg, vanilla and butter, and mix gently until combined.
- Fill the wells of the prepared eclair pans about halfway with the batter.
- Bake until the doughnuts spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean, 10 minutes. Transfer the pans to a rack set over a baking sheet; let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pans and let cool completely on the rack.
- For the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk together until smooth.
- Dunk the doughnuts in the glaze to coat completely. Transfer to a rack and let set for 10 minutes before serving.
OLD-FASHIONED HOT CHOCOLATE
I "lifted" this recipe for Le Chocolat Chaud a l'Ancienne from an old chocolate blog and it's intro reads: For a short period, Starbucks offered a premium hot chocolate beverage called Chantico. It was the best hot chocolate drink that could be bought: it was an intense rich chocolate beverage, coming in a tiny cup and enough to fill you up. Sadly, not enough people bought it and it was discontinued. But I've found a good recipe on this site and adapted it a little bit for my tastes, and let me tell you, the result is amazing. If you decide to make this on a cold wintry December night, just don't try to drink too much - it's very rich!

Steps:
- IF USING CHOCOLATE:.
- Grate chocolate (manually or in food processor fitted with steel blades). Add in corn starch, sugar, and salt.
- IF USING COCOA:.
- Mix solid ingredients, butter, and a little warmed milk to make a smooth paste; add remaining milk.
- In a one-quart, heavy-bottomed, non-aluminum saucepan, heat milk over medium low heat, stirring often with small whisk, until it is steaming hot. Carefully add chocolate mixture.
- Continue cooking mixture, stirring almost constantly with whisk and scraping bottom and sides of pot with heat resistant spatula frequently. Mixture will steam for several (15-20) minutes before coming to a boil, and will thicken slightly.
- When mixture boils, continue cooking and stirring for only 30 to 45 seconds.
- Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla, sugar (as much as you want) and any optional ingredients.
- TO SERVE:.
- Divide among small 4 cups or mugs, and mix 1 tablespoon of skim milk in each mug to achieve desired consistency; you may need to warm in microwave once skim is added.
