On A Hot Summer Night

...treat yourself to some frozen hot chocolate. It's decadent and refreshing - what's not to love!?

Servings: 1 (big glass) or 2 (smaller glasses)

Ingredients:

6 pieces (1/2-ounce) chocolate

2 teaspoons store-bought hot chocolate mix  

1 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 cups milk

2 cups of ice

 Whipped cream

Chocolate syrup

Directions: Boil a pot of water and put a glass bowl on top. Place the chocolate in the bowl and stir occasionally until melted. Stir in the hot chocolate mix and sugar until completely melted. Remove from heat and slowly add ½ cup of milk until smooth. Cool to room temperature. In a blender, place the remaining cup of milk, the room-temperature chocolate mixture and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant glass or mug and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
