My granddaughters and their parents will be here for Thanksgiving and I want to make sure I have Hot Chocolate for my two girls. I've considered buying Chocolate Syrup because I remember what fun it was to pour it into a glass of ice cold milk and stir and then there always seems to be that little dab in the bottom that every child finds compelling. They must scrape every drop off the bottom. Well, duh, it's yummy!! All that being said, I've been looking for recipes that are a healthier version than the one I could buy at the store and I wanted a simple recipe using as few ingredients as possible. There are several recipes out there and I'm not saying that some are not better than others but I found one with just a few ingredients that tastes great and is so easy to make. I'm scraping the chocolate syrup off the bottom as we speak!! LOL!!! Check out my Recipes page.
I baked an old-fashioned butter cake this afternoon. This is a 3-layer baby and it turned out looking pretty good. I iced it with chocolate icing and let there be no doubt, Hubby will be deliriously happy. Every now and then I try to indulge his sweet tooth. He is a pretty special guy, ya know! Plus I gotta keep him out of the bakery!!!
