| Comments: What a warm and very special drink to wake up to on Valentine's Day. Serve this "decadent" hot cocoa to your sweetie (on a pretty tray), when he or she wakes up in the morning, or just serve on a chilly day for something just a little bit different and special. |
Ingredients:  2 cups milk 1 vanilla bean 4 strips orange peel (orange part only), each about 2 inches long 3/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate 2 tablespoons purchased caramel, butterscotch, or fudge sauce (or 1 tablespoons each of any 2) About 1/2 cup whipped cream Store-bought chocolate syrup Semisweet chocolate curls (optional) |
| Instructions: 1. In a 1 to 2 quart saucepan, combine milk, vanilla bean, and orange peel. Warm over low heat to blend flavors, about 15 minutes, stirring often; do not boil. Discard orange peel; remove vanilla bean and save (dry used vanilla bean, and store for another use(. 2. Add chopped chocolate and caramel sauce to hot milk; stir over low heat until chocolate melts. 3. Pour hot cocoa into mugs (about 8 oz.), top with equal portions of whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and sprinkle with chocolate curls (optional). Serve with spoons. Makes 4 servings. |
