My bil is way too funny. He has become somewhat of a sahd. He works 2 24 hour shifts a week and the other days are spent taking care of his home and his son. My sister has been going to school and working a lot leaving him to become Mr. Domestic. I love it!
Last night we were at his house for Sunday dinner. After dinner he offered to make all the kiddos hot chocolate. When he got out his blender I was thinking what are you doing? Well, you will thank me for this idea he saw on Martha (even though he admits it wasn't Martha that he got it from ha!).
Warm up some water in the microwave till hot. Put a packet (or how many packets you need) of hot cocoa in the blender. Add the hot water to the blender. Then blend away. It will make it super creamy and it will give you that froth on the top. (think Starbucks froth). You can then pour into mugs and add marshmallows or my bil's fav. is to put a candy cane in and stir it with that so that the candy cane melts a bit. Oh my word. Sooooo good!
Fyi: do not overfill blender. Bil pours this super hot water into the blender, pushes the start button at the same time saying, "Helen watch this" and just when he does that the water explodes out of the blender all over his shirt, his hair, his face, the counter, the floor, everywhere. I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard! I was so mad at myself for not having my camera! Fortunately my sister thought it was funny too...I wasn't sure what her reaction was going to be seeing the mess that was made. But it was sooo worth it. That had to have been hands down the best hot chocolate evah!
