Before cool weather gets away from us and the first flowers start budding, let me offer you this insanely decadent recipe for hot chocolate. I know some of you might be thinking I’m crazy because you can make hot chocolate from a powder, but trust me on this. This is thick, and rich, and you really have to believe me because I am not usually a hot chocolate drinker. This is a worthy exception.
