Directions

"The recipe was sent to me by a fellow named Smith. Can you believe this? He writes so beautifully that I must quote part of the message accompanied his recipe. "'You have publicly denounced pasted, powdered, flaked, salted garlic, decried the use of dull, dexicated, prepowdered spices and all of cooking's other irksome pseudo-conveniences, save one. "'All across America each winter millions of cold thoughtful people (one hopes out of innocent misapprehension) put a foul sugary powder in a mug, add hot water and ignorantly dub it "hot chocolate," (This stuff rates with microwave pancakes.) I commend this formula to your care." For each cup, in a double boiler combine 2 to 3 oz. milk chocolate 1 t. butter ¼ t.

vanilla Stir together until completely melted and smooth. Then add: 1 cup half-and-half or CREAM Add the half-and-half or CREAM slowly, incorporating it gradually as it heats but do not boil. Serve over a handful of minature marshmallows and garnish with a dash of nutmeg.
