This was the perfect drink to have on a freezing winter evening. We had just been hit with freezing rain and people are being asked to keep off the roads. No problem with this yummy beverage. The chocolate and orange flavors melded really well. I topped it off with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Made for Feb. 2011 Aus/NZ Swap.

Yummmm! Delicious. Pretty cool! A few of the things I heard when I served this at our kids viewing of The Nativity movie. I have to make this again for our upcoming Christmas dinner. I didn't change a thing. I think next time I would use whole fat milk though. Made and Reviewed for Kid Friendly Tag - Thanks! :)
