There's one little boy in our house who always appears in the kitchen in the morning and says:
"I want hot chocolate and marshmallows."
Sometimes he is even cheerful and most polite.
Needless to say, we go through a lot of marshmallows and chocolate syrup.
Noticing we were getting rather low, I went to add it to the shopping list when I happened to turn the bottle around. I am a bottle reader by nature (thanks to my mom who will read any written words within site) and by necessity (due to numerous food allergies). Somehow I failed to notice the extras that we were getting.
Just wets one's appetite, doesn't it? (what is vanillin?) Thankfully Pinterest once again came to the rescue. Armed with a new recipe, we just made our own (I did reduce the sugar to 1 cup).
There's no magic ingredient or need to run to the store anymore; a simple combination of sugar, cocoa, water and vanilla. Five minutes and you're done.
And best of all, it passed the connoisseur's test.
