Making Devil's Hot Chocolate

Video Transcript

"Hi, I’m Scott for Expert Village and today I’m going to teach you how to make the Devil’s Hot Chocolate. Here are some of the ingredients that we need in order to make this delicious treat; six pieces of Hershey’s dark chocolate, about a quarter of a cup of chocolate syrup, a tablespoon of cinnamon, a whole cup of milk, a teaspoon and vanilla and a little bit of salt. To get this recipe started the first thing that we have to do is add a glass of milk, the next step is of course to add our chocolate, making sure as you melt it down you keep the pan at about a medium setting so you don’t burn the chocolate. Be sure to keep stirring everything that’s contained within the pan so nothing sticks to the bottom and starts to burn. This is very important. Now we can go ahead and add our vanilla, the next important ingredient is to add a little bit of salt, the salt gives it a little bit more thickness because it causes the milk to coagulate, just a little bit so that when you drink it, it tastes really good. Okay, we’re ready to add our next ingredient; that of course would be the chocolate syrup. Now when you put this in here it’s going to thicken it up real quick but as long as you keep it warm and keep stirring it, it’ll thin up real nicely. Once you have it in there, we’re pretty much finished, so now we just keep mixing this up until the chocolate is completely done. You pick up your hot chocolate that you just made, you’ve got to be sure that you’re careful when you’re pouring it because sometimes you spill over a little bit. Grab your cinnamon, take a little pinch of it and sprinkle it on top. Now you can’t always expect to get it right the first time, that’s why you’ve got to try it a few times but once you get it right you’ll figure out exactly how to do it to your specifications. For Expert Village, Mmm, I’m Scott. "
