Recipe: (Possibly) The Best Simple Chocolate-Lover's Breakfast

Hello, Cooks!

You don't really need to be able to cook for this recipe. It's the best simple version of a wonderful chocolate breakfast. Have fun! (I think I got this recipe from a magazine or something.)

Ingredients:
  • Chocolate chip toaster waffles
  • Nutella
  • Marshmallows
  • Whipped Cream
Directions:
  1.  Toast two toaster waffles.
  2. Spread Nutella on both toaster waffles.
  3. Put marshmallows on one toaster waffle, then put the other toaster waffle on top to create a marshmallow and nutella sandwich.
  4. Put whipped cream on top.
  5. Eat!
I love this recipe.

Recipe: [Fancy] Homemade Hot Chocolate

Hello, Cooks!

Today, we are making homemade, absolutely fabulous, hot chocolate. (Disclaimer: This is not powder.)

Again, obviously not one I made.
The recipe is from: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1092/deluxe-hot-chocolate-with-marshmallows

Ingredients: 
  • 600ml milk 
  • 142ml pot double cream
  • 100g chopped chocolate
Directions: 
Pour the milk, double cream and chopped chocolate into a pan. Bring gently to the boil, whisking until smooth. Serve in individual cups or mugs topped with mini marshmallows and a little grated chocolate.

The recipe says it makes four cups, and nutrition information is on the website.

I wish I had time to actually make these more often.

Now here's the fun part: You can add whatever other spices you want. You can add cinnamon, vanilla, maple, peppermint (or just get peppermint candies and let them dissolve in the hot chocolate), chili spices, cardamom. . . whatever you want. However, add a tiny amount, taste it, then add more. Spices are a lot stronger than you think.

Also, you can use different types of chocolate for a wider variety.

What's your favorite spice?

Recipe: Chocolate Fondue

Greetings, Friends!

Chocolate is one of my favorite foods ever. No matter what kind it is, it's delicious.

Chocolate fondue is pretty self-explanatory, but here are some ideas.

First, if you don't have a chocolate fondue pot, warm up chocolate in the microwave and make it ahead of time. This method is also easier, albeit less fun.

Second, use multiple types of chocolate. It's fun when you have dark chocolate fondue, milk chocolate fondue, white chocolate fondue, and bittersweet chocolate fondue, as opposed to just chocolate fondue.

Next, have a variety of fruit. You can also use marshmallows and other things, but I prefer fruit.
Some ideas for fruit you can use are:
  • Pineapple
  • Strawberries
  • Apples
  • Raspberries
  • Whatever you want!

Finally, have a variety of toppings. Some topping ideas are:
  • Nuts
  • Coconut
  • Sprinkles
  • Whatever else you can find! 

I hope you like chocolate fondue! If you do make this or have made it, post in the comments!
