choc -o-holic

if you've met me or anyone in my family you know we are chocoholics.

full blown chocoholics, and ALL chocolate never goes to waste in our household.

i think this is due to the fact that my mom is addicted.

pretty sure she must have drank chocolate milk and {fed it to me in a bottle as a babe}, ate chocolate chip cookies, oh and that 10lb chocolate bar she always seems to have hidden in the house somewhere. YUM.

so whenever i come across a new chocolate {especially nutella} recipe i must TRY IT NOW!

however, the most recent discovery happens to come at the worst time ever.

100+ degrees ARIZONA and NUTELLA HOT CHOCOLATE do not, I REPEAT,

DO NOT MIX! 

maybe in a few weeks, once monsoon season really picks up, then i might, just may be able to just get by, but for now, maybe someone, somewhere can enjoy this recipe, while i just stare at the photo and salivate.

heaven in a cup

NUTELLA HOT CHOCOLATE
1 serving
1 cup milk (I use skim)
2 1/2 Tbsp Nutella
1 Tbsp Cocoa
Tiny pinch of salt
In a small sauce pan over medium heat
whisk all ingredients together until well blended and hot.
Pour in a cup and top with homemade whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Place a medium bowl and your beaters from your electric mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes (this helps the whipped cream stiffen faster)
Pour all ingredients into the chilled bowl and start to beat. Start off on low and gradually work your way up to high. It will be done when it is the consistency of ..well…whipped cream. Don’t over beat.

DISCLAIMER: i have never made this before, so i take no blame for it not being good.

but it has nutella and WHIPPED cream, how could it not be AMAZING!?
