THICK AND RICH DARK HOT CHOCOLATE

Indulging in  rich hot chocolates in a dark cold weather wrapped up in a blanket is utterly comforting.Who wouldn't love the idea of making this rich drink instead of sipping those ugly soda's  or whatever.Every part of the world has is own way of enjoying chocolate drinks.European's make it thick and creamy chocolate,American and Indian hot chocolate's are mixed with milk .It could be served in cup or in bowls .I'd like mine in a bowl with a spoon on the couch watching my fav food n/w in the dim lights.How comforting !!
