Excellent! Made this for my husband to surprise him one morning as he loves hot chocolate and I had everything on hand. Came out surprisingly "dark" and very, very, thick, almost like a pudding. He ended up not finishing it and saved the rest for the night and added more milk. Has a chocolaty, "earthy" taste. Next time I may add a peppermint stick when serving or a cinnamon stick.

I tried this recipe on a chilly night and it really hit the spot. My husband loved it, too, especially with the addition of a few marshmallows on top. Not too sweet and very tasty, the spices give it a nice warmth and depth of flavor.
