Ingredients

  • 2 bars chocolate of your choice (I selected dark chocolate with pomegranate to get a slightly bitter yet rich, sweet flavor)
  • 2 cups (half a carton) almond milk (you can use regular milk or soy milk)

Hollyized Steps:

  • Unwrap and break up your chocolate bars. (You can see I used three bars since I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth but most may find that overwhelmingly sweet.)
  • Then, put the chocolate bar chunks into a freezer Ziploc bag to avoid making a mess. Use the flat surface of a meat tenderizer to break up the chocolate chunks. Pound over a cutting board to keep your counters safe!
  • Heat the milk in a small pot on medium heat until it begins to bubble. This only takes about 7 minutes.
  • Pour the broken chocolate from the bag into a blender. Then add in the hot milk.
  • Blend, being careful since the hot liquid will try to ooze out the sides. I slightly vent the top of my blender while mixing to prevent any spillage.
  • Immediately serve and enjoy your fabulous drink with a good book! Sprinkle the top with some cinnamon, if you wish. See?! You get a customized coffeehouse-style drink in the comforts of home sweet home!
