Healthy hot Chocolate.
Chocolate is the answer to every problem.
No seriously, it is.
—-Boyfriend broke up with you? Chocolate!
—-No time to make dinner? Chocolate!
—-Spilled red wine all over your tablecloth? Baking soda!
Baking soda??? Okay, maybe chocolate is the answer to almost every problem. (Please don’t try putting chocolate on your red wine stains. Not a good idea!)
Homemade hot chocolate above is topped with coconut whipped cream and Healthy Chocolate Raspberry Sauce.
But when it’s been raining all day, and you and your roommate are stuck inside (as we were yesterday), chocolate is definitely the answer.

FRIENDS!!! It will always always be my number one favorite show. So many life lessons 🙂
I am also currently obsessed with The Big Bang Theory – but I only get to watch the reruns since I’m never home when the current season is on.
Oh yum…this is just what I want right now!

*Sending you chocolate hugs* 🙂
I’m going to have to make this, this weekend. Oh it looks so good! Like yourself, I’m a huge Friends fan. For some reason it just never gets old. I’ve seen reruns about 10 times. I could never get into the Kardashians, Jersey Shore or Real Housewives crap. I don’t get the appeal.
I forgot to answer your daily question! BONES, parenthood, unforgettable and two broke girls and several cooking shows… These are all getting recorded on my dvr!
“Chocolate is the answer to every problem.” Yes, yes it is!
This looks great. lovely pictures too. 🙂
No joke, I’m watching The West Wing this very second! It’s my third time watching it start to finish, oh how I love! I’ll be stopping at 6pm to watch Friends reruns. Other than that, favourite shows are Firefly, SeaChange, and Buffy 🙂
Chocolate totally is the answer to a red wine stain. It’ll make me feel better to eat it while I pack the tablecloth up to give to my mum to fix on the weekend 😉
We love Last Man Standing, The Office, The Firm, and our guilty pleasures are Jersey Shore, Real World/Road Rules Challenges, Real World, Ridiculousness. I love everything on TLC, HGTV, and Food Network, especially Hoarders, When Vacations Attack, Chopped, Driver’s Diners and Dives. There’s a show on National Geographic called Taboo that’s always interesting if you need a good DVR idea!
Just wanted to say that this was the perfect “wake me up” treat this morning. It’s so cold here, but I’m all warm and toasty now, after drinking what can only be called the world’s best hot chocolate recipe! Really, really good.
I watch Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, and Up All Night. I am working my way through The Wire on dvd.
Thanks for the recipe.
