Hot Chocolate: 50 Heavenly Cups of Comfort, Cookbook of the Day

Jonathan was exactly right to point out that hot chocolate season is just picking up and, of course, there is no better way to get it started than with some new ideas for making some at home. Hot Chocolate: 50 Heavenly Cups of Comfort is a book full of indulgent renditions of a favorite treat, featuring high-quality chocolates and many twists that will keep the drink interesting night after night. At the beginning of the book there is some basic information to start you off on the right track, such as an overview of the basic types of chocolate and a reminder that cocoa is, in fact, good for you - just in case you were having any second thoughts about some of the richer recipes. The drinks include regional recipes, such as Ecuadorian Heirloom Hot Chocolate, spirited recipes that include Mint Julep Hot Chocolate and Hot Chocolate Nog, and ones that are just plain delicious, like Peanut Butter Dream Hot Chocolate, Vanilla Hot Chocolate and Classic American Hot Chocolate.

Don't forget the marshmallows!

On the topic of hot chocolate - stores like Ghiradelli and others are now selling "drinking chocolate," which I highly (HIGHLY!) recommend. It is faaar more chocolatey than a little powdery packet of Swiss Miss. Although, Swiss Miss's tiny dehydrated marshmallows add a certain panache that no sophisticated, 'adult' hot chocolate can achieve!
