Comments: Here’s a warm treat to remove the chill of winter.

Ingredients: 3 cups half-and-half or light cream* (see note below) 3/4 cup vanilla-flavor baking pieces or vanilla-flavor candy coating, chopped 3 inch cinnamon stick 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Slivers of vanilla-flavor candy coating (optional) Ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions: 1. Combine 1/4 cup of the half-and-half or light cream, vanilla baking pieces or chopped candy coating, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; whisk over low heat until vanilla baking pieces or candy is melted. Remove cinnamon stick. 2. Add remaining half-and-half or light cream. Whisk until heated through. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and almond extract. Serve warm in cups or mugs; top with slivers of vanilla-flavor candy coating and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Makes 5 (6-ounce) servings. *Note: To reduce fat, you may substitute low-fat milk or evaporated fat-free milk for the half-and-half. Tip: To create the foamy layer on top, blend some of the hot chocolate mixture in a blender container until frothy, and add to each serving.
