AND yet another good looking recipe, o' Chief, the least of your accomplishments is the Betraying of Brevity..

I have to ask, though. What is Steven's Hot Cocoa mix? Are there similar, more widely available but similar products?

Steven's hot cocoa mix is very similar to Swiss Miss, but in a larger container. You scoop out the amount you want from the canister, and put it into milk, or water, and stir it into the hot liquid.

Little brother, this stuff is very rich. However, the hazelnuts are my addition. Without them, a blender would not be required. In addition, white chocolate is used rather than the Lindt Truffles.

Made correctly, this is like a liquid ganache. Butter can be added, as the salt will enhance, and deepen the chocolate flavor.

I wonder how many DC'ers know that you are responsible for giving me my online moniker. I admit though, that it fits me, and I like it.
