Hazelnut Hot Chocolate Recipe!

My future mother and father-in-laws got me a really great gift: a book of hot chocolate recipes. They are sooooo good. Lucky for you, I've decided to share the wealth and post my favorites on the blog every now and then.

This is one of the easiest, simplest, and most delicious recipes in there.

Ingredients:

2 heaping tablespoons of chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella, World Market brand, etc.)
3/4 cup whole milk (Yes, whole milk. More fat, but the creamy richness is essential for a good, hot, hazelnut-chocolatey drink)
Whipped cream

1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
2. Right when it starts to simmer, add the Nutella and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
3. Pour into a mug and serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

It makes one serving. You can easily double the recipe if you need to; I suggest using a ladle to portion it out if you make more than one batch at a time.

Make it for your spouse/significant other, too. Trust me. This is some of the best stuff you'll ever drink, and they'll be incredibly impressed. Cooking skills are sexy. ;-)
