It is probably best if you use the nestle chocolate morsels- the semi-sweet ones. They make good chocolate covered strawberries.

How to Make The Best Hot Chocolate On A Wood Stove

Water
Teapot or small pot
Milk
Sugar
Marshmallows or whipped cream
Chocolate bars or chocolate chip
Cinnamon (optional)

In my other recipes, I have said to make sure the wood stove is blazing hot. For this recipe it does not matter. In fact, I would recommend that you use the wood stove when the initial fire has died out and it now has beautiful ember coals. This will keep you from scalding the hot chocolate.

This will make enough hot chocolate for four people. In a pot, add 4 cups of water and 2 cups of milk (preferably whole milk for the creaminess). Designate a person to continuously stir the liquid while it sits on the wood stove.

Add cinnamon and a dash or a 1/4 teaspon of sugar (more if you want it sweeter).

You don’t want the liquid to boil, but just come to a near boil. Once it reaches this point, add the eqivalent of 1 cup of chocolate chips or 2-3 hershey’s bars (not both!). Stir continuously.

In the meantime, add marshmallows to each of the cups (unless you are using whipped cream, which you will add last).

When the chocolate has melted and resulted in a creamy delight. Remove from the wood stove and pour the amount desired over the marshmallows.

Serve and warn your patrons of the heat!

Now, sit around with candles and/or flashlights and play games or share family history stories.  Either way, make sure you go back for seconds and let’s hope the power does not come back on too soon.

High-end markets usually carry high quality chocolate from top artisan chocolatiers. Boxed chocolates are usually combined with ingredients to preserve them from going bad, so freshness and taste won’t be as rich. Try purchasing chocolates online.

Step3

Don’t buy cheap chocolate The next step is to look at the price. If you walk into a high-end chocolatier, you can expect to pay over 0 for a pound of chocolate. However, you can also put together a hand-picked selection for less than . While you won’t get as much chocolate from a high-end French chocolate store as you from a local drugstore, which one will make the best impression?

Step4

No matter what your recipient says, do not get sugar-free chocolate unless the person you are going to give it to is a diabetic. If there is any issue regarding weight, focus instead on portion control. Chocolate is to taste good, so stop focusing on the diabetic attributes.

Step5

Buy different flavors of chocolate for your recipient. If you know what flavors she likes, feel free to choose. If you do not have any i
idea whatsoever, you can ask for recommendations. If not, choose what you would like to get. If a date you planned goes wrong, you always have the chocolates you liked already chosen!

Step6

Last but not least, never EVER re-gift a chocolate that you received and do not like. Now, you can be an expertise in buying the perfect and delicious Valentine’s chocolates. Who knows, you might fall in love because of this!
