My Recent Quest

Tonight, I shall be brief. I have decided to embark upon a great quest. My quest? To seek the best homemade hot chocolate!

The reason I decided to embark upon this quest is simple. I love hot chocolate, but I hate when my hot chocolate is either too watered down or too rich. There is an ideal for hot chocolate--a hot chocolate utopia, if you will. Not too bitter or sweet, not too thick or watery, and NEVER clumpy. However, just like any utopia, this is difficult to achieve.

Homemade hot chocolate is customizable. And, for the most part, is incredibly easy. One of my favorite things is to grab a mug and spoon, put two or three scoops of sugar, a scoop or two of cocoa, then fill the rest of the mug with milk. Then I heat it up and mix it together. If I am feeling daring, I put a splash of vanilla in, or even use powdered sugar instead of regular sugar. I know, I know. Adventurous move, Darcy.

But I daresay there are hundreds of different cocoa recipes online. I want to find one that is both easy and delicious. I have to say, as far as quests go, this one's going to be mighty enjoyable. Let the quest begin!
