Thick Italian Hot Chocolate

When I think of chocolate, my mind plays a screenplay of the many different kinds of chocolate I have had throughout my life. As a little girl, I thought M&M’s and Hershey’s were a treat that was savored and eaten slowly. As a young mother, my sweet daughter surprised me with a box of Whitman’s that will always hold a special spot in my heart. In fact, I saved the box for years and used as a sewing box. Chocolate chip cookies, brownies, s’mores, and chocolate cake are also favorites. A few years ago, I even discovered chocolate lemonade. Now that’s delicious. I have now discovered amazing chocolates — both dark and milk chocolate. I am a lover of dark chocolate but I have found some wonderful milk chocolates that are so smooth it feels like velvet on my tongue.
