This recipe is really about presentation. Hot chocolate is, as you know, relatively easy. What separates the best from the boring is 1. The quality of the chocolate, 2. The quality of the milk, 3. How well the added flavors marry with the chocolate. You'll need 8 pretty straws cut in half and a flexible silicon mold with squares no bigger than 1.5 inches across. Also, if you're having a larger party double or triple this recipe. It takes the same amount of time to prepare.
