Melt chocolate in the microwave with 30 second bursts, stir into the hot milk (it really doesn’t work if it’s not hot, which is annoying).

1 qt heavy cream, whipped with 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar. Very little left over, good amount for this year.

We made 4 gallons, but used about 2.5 gallons of hot chocolate. 3 gallons would have been perfect for this year (60 registered, 9 at door, 17 cvd and friends).
