FRENCH HOT CHOCOLATE

French Hot Chocolate image

One of my fondest memories of Paris was sipping a cup of thick, dark hot chocolate at one of their patisseries. French hot chocolate is velvety smooth, rich, decadent and almost the consistency of a molten chocolate bar. It is meant to be sipped slowly and savored. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

FRENCH-STYLE HOT CHOCOLATE

French-Style Hot Chocolate image

Although it's commonly made with cocoa powder (chocolate liquor that has been pressed and ground), this classic French-style hot chocolate is richer -- a luxurious blend of bittersweet and semisweet chocolate, hot milk, cream, and a smattering of brown sugar.
