Creamy Hot Chocolate

We've had sore throats at our house and our kids keep asking for hot chocolate. We'd better get better in a hurry or they'll need a crane to get us out of here!

1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 C unsweetened Cocoa

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

1/8 tsp Salt

6 1/2 C Water (or a combination of water and milk)

In a Large Saucepan, over Medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Slowly stir in water. Heat through, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.

Garnish with your choice: mini-mallows, vanilla ice cream, etc. Our favorite is whipped cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. YUMMY!
