good hot chocolate
 
the hot chocolate they sell in stores is made with ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and plastic, do not want.

however it tastes really good, i want that taste but made with quality ingredients, does anyone know a brand like that or a DIY method, a vegan version or anything like that? i want to know

 

the stuff jamaicans make by actually melting chocolate is good but i think it's hard to make and asking a jamaican lady to share a recipe is dangerous

fraus is pretty damn awesome, but Im not sure it's all that good for you..

Otherwise just go for an organic cocoa steamed with milk/soy and vanilla beans?

I alternate between the two.. the fraus I usually only get from the store near my house because they make it in a carousel and its THICK like dark chocolate cream. mmmm. But you can buy the sachets and steam it yourself, and its still quite nice, just not as thick.

i'm probably going to spend the weekend in the kitchen screwing around with cocoa powder,i see fatness in my future :(

cocoa doesn't make you fat! Sugar and uh, fat does. cocoa is meant to be good for you..

and cocoa is 20% fat even in unsweetened form, plus lots of calories. but there's good for you things in it too.
Is chocolate fattening?

Yes, chocolate is fattening. Even dark chocolate contains a lot of calories because of the large content of fat and sugar. The sugar content in chocolate is worse than the fat content regarding negative effects on health.
