Title: Hot Chocolate To Die for (Frugal Gourmet)
Categories: Beverages
Yield: 1 Cup

		FOR EACH CUP:
2	oz	To 3 oz milk chocolate
1	ts	Butter
1/4	ts	Vanilla
1	c	Half-and-half or cream

In a double boiler, combine the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Stir together until completely melted and smooth. Add the half-and-half slowly, incorporating it gradually as it heats, but do not boil. Serve over a handful of miniature marshmallows and garnish with a dash of nutmeg.

VARIATIONS: Substitute dark (semisweet) chocolate or white chocolate (very elegant). Also try liqueurs, Kahlua (to go with milk chocolate), Cointreau (with dark chocolate), or peppermint schnapps (with white chocolate).
