Creamy Hot Chocolate

We use this recipe during the Christmas holiday. Great for cold nights in front of the fireplace.

2 ounces (squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 cup water
3 tablespoons sugar
dash salt
3 cups milk

Directions
Cook chocolate and water over low heat until chocolate is melted. Add sugar and salt, boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly until piping hot. Beat until frothy before serving.

**Place a long stick of cinnamon into the hot chocolate and top with whipped cream.
