A sinfully delicious treat called a chocolate brandy bean, inspired this recipe. The first one, I ate was in a deli in the town of Kimberley British Columbia. It was a day to remember. This hot chocolate drink is naughty and nice, and sometimes enjoyed best…alone!

3 Heaping Tbsps. Dark Chocolate Chips
1 cup Milk
2 Tbsps. Brandy
1 dollop of Whipped Cream
Cinnamon for sprinkling

Melt chocolate chips in a small pot over low heat. Add milk slowly stirring to combine. Turn up heat to medium until the milky chocolate drink reaches the right temp. for you. Pour into your favorite mug. Add 2 Tbsps. Brandy. Top with one generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Serves 1 most extravagantly!

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
