Great gift idea!!


It's good although I'll have to sample it again to be sure.


The time of year for hot chocolate too :)


Great recipe to keep on hand as well as giving as gifts!
Thanks for 5 Fork recipe of Alton Brown's! Love him!!!


I have got to try this! I think it may need some Mexican chocolate, we'll see. I love AB's recipes. His baked macaroni and cheese is a family favorite here. Did you see he is putting out a cookbook? Yummy!


Looks yummy...but it's still in the 90's here...ugh!


Love hot chocolate and love AB, thanks
