Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Good morning everyone.

I missed my morning coffee @Faith-and-Hope so that photo looks particularly enticing today!

I've never tried a marshmallow in coffee @Smc and @Determined! I love trying out unusal combinations so might have to put that one on the list 😋

They have to be good quality marshmallows (Pascall are my fav).

The cheap substitutes don't melt the same and are not very nice (in my opinion).

Thanks for the gourmet marshmallow tips @Determined ..... it clearly makes all the difference.

I only became aware of the difference between compound chocolate and chocolate made with the natural cocoa butter base ..... and it makes a massive difference both in taste and in how it melts.

@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member, the main flavouring in marshmallows is vanilla, so it comes out sort of like a vanilla cappucinno.

I don't like wasting food, so sometimes I get "imaginitive" in what I do with bits and pieces. Some damaged snowballs got added to hot chocolate drinks. Tasted good, but the coconut bits floating in it wouldn't be to everyone's taste. (I didn't mind them.)

That makes sense @Smc .....

I am afraid I am no expert on marshmallows in drinks - I have my coffee black or iced and chocolate drinks cold and shaken. However compound chocolate is definitely out in my view ...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks for the tips about the different kinds of chocolate and marsmallows @Determined and @Faith-and-Hope

Black coffee is my go to as well @Former-Member however I'm all about kitchen experiments and using what's in the cupboard too @Smc. Sometimes it doesn't work out...but when it does, it's glorious 😁 🥑 🍫
