I mentioned this recipe in a thread about bonfire parties:

Quantities given make 6 small cupfuls.

650 ml (1pint) milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp light brown sugar
50 gm (2oz) dark 70% chocolate, chopped
3 tsp cornflour mixed into 2 tbsp cold water

12 tbsp Baileys or brandy,optional
Mini marshmallows, optional

1. Put the milk, cocoa, sugar, chocolate and a pinch of salt in a pan. Melt over a low heat, don't boil.
2. Pour the cornflour and water mixture into the pan and bring contents to the boil, whisking with a wire whisk. Simmer for a few minutes, beating all the time, until thickened.
3. Serve. A dash of Baileys or brandy (and probably rum, whisky, whatever you like) can be added for adults. Mini marshmallows can be placed on top.

Now I'm drooling  . Haven't had chocolate for 4 months as we had to cut it out because the doctor said Johns sugar levels needed to come down. Have to have sugar free and its horrible so don't bother. Could really go a cup of that Argyllie
