Delicious Hot Chocolate

One thing I cannot live without during the Winter is Hot Chocolate. In fact, I love it so much that sometimes I drink it during the summer. (My husband thinks I'm crazy.) I thought I'd share a delicious recipe for Creamy Hot Chocolate that is lip-smacking good.

Ingredients
1 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
6 cups milk
2 cups (1 pint) half & half
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions
Combine chocolate chips, sugar, and water in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, stirring every minute, until chocolate chips are melted and mixture comes to a full boil (3 - 4 minutes). Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes. Stir in milk and half & half. Microwave on HIGH, stirring after half the time, until heated through (8 - 10 minutes), but do not boil. Add vanilla. Whisk until frothy. Enjoy. (It makes about 8 servings.)
