I Didn't Know Chocolate Could Do That

Tonight, I made some hot chocolate on ice for me the kids. (I've had it saved in my recipes to try since June 2004 but in my defense we didn't have a functioning blender for much of that time.) Everyone liked it. Even First Son said, "This is yummy!"

Then, after only a few bites, he changed his mind. According to him, it hurt his throat and his ankle.

So we gave the rest of his to First Daughter and he had a banana. (And then First Daughter needed a banana as well, in addition to her chocolate.)

I think you could even decrease the cocoa a little; it was very rich. (Though we skipped the whipped cream. Perhaps that would soften the cocoa taste a little.)
