Halloween Hot Chocolate (Liquid Candy)

October 30, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I see lots of recipe for using up leftover Halloween candy.  I’m not sure I see the point, as just eating it straight is generally fine with me.  Mind you, not in one sitting, but over time, stashed in drawers and cabinets.  But I do want to make my contribution with this creamy, rich hot chocolate.  Make it as soon as the little monsters come in from the trick-or-treating chill, or as a special after school treat later in the week.

You must use soft candy that will melt, and nuts are too chunky.  Milky Way,  Rolo, Kisses, Reese’s,  Hershey’s Milk or Special Dark all work beautifully.  The final product may not be a chocolaty brown depending on the type of candy used, but it will still be delicious.  Using the blender makes a creamy drink with everything smoothly combined, plus it creates a nice foamy top.

Halloween Hot Chocolate (Liquid Candy)

¼ cup heavy cream

1 cup milk

1 ounce chocolate candy (4 mini-size squares)

Combine the cream and milk in a small saucepan and heat over medium just until bubbles form on the surface. Do not boil.

Unwrap the candy and place in the carafe of a blender.  Pour over the warm milk and leave for a few seconds to soften the candy bars.  Vent the blender lid and carefully hold it with a folded tea towel.  Blend until smooth and frothy. Serve immediately, or pour back into the saucepan and reheat gently if needed.

Makes one serving, can be doubled or tripled

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
