My mom used to make this all the time growing up. I never knew the name of it and one day (about 25 years after I had it the last time) I was reading a box of Hershey's cocoa while making hot chocolate - duh, it was right on the container.

I absolutely love this stuff. We used to eat it in a bowl with milk poured over it. It was so good. It was hot and the milk was cold - yum!
