European-Style Hot Chocolate
Indulge in this thick, rich European-style hot chocolate. Only a few ingredients and mere seconds stand between you and the most luxurious treat you’ve ever warmed your palms around.
Have you guys ever heard of this? The hot chocolate in European countries like Spain and Belgium is NOTHING like hot chocolate as we know it, here in the States.
No no no.
When I think of American hot chocolate, I’m picturing a dusty powder, dumped from a foil packet into some hot water, with a few stingy little marshmallows floating around in the thin, sugary brown liquid.
The European-style hot chocolate I savored while in Spain was a complete epiphany. Thick, almost pudding-like, and exploding with intense chocolate flavor.
Guess what? It’s so super simple to make. It literally takes seconds. And once you’ve tried it, you’ll never be the same again. Say goodbye to those foil packets!
