I'm not such a freak about chocolate - for the most part I get along just fine without it. I do like Belgian chocolates [pralines especially] and English chocolate bars of any kind [especially Flake] and every so often a Mars bar or something right here in good old Toronto. So I'm not entirely sure how it came to be that I consumed so many white hot chocolates @ coffee shops during my university days. I think it's because I really don't like those "fancy" coffee drinks [trust me, I was a barista - you do not want to drink those unless you aren't already getting your daily dose of carcinogens]. So, to continue my whole vibe of feeling like a student again, I decided to recapture that moment.
I came across some recipes for making your own hot chocolate by chance the other day and thought I might give it a try. Lacking the ingredients to make regular hot chocolate I improvised and I made white hot chocolate from scratch. It was delicious, but so rich [and so much of it - I have a real problem with portion control with just about everything I make]. This also marks the first time I've felt comfortable enough working with baking ingredients to improvise anything at all. Flashbacks to the French apple cake with the extra egg were successfully averted.
