Hot Chocolate AWESOME STICKS!!

My homemade gifts this year turned out super cute and super yummy. Found the recipe via Giver's Log though I'm having trouble remembering how I stumbled onto that website in the first place. Hmm. Anyways, they would have been a breeze had I not made them during the 40 days and 40 nights of rain last week because the humidity made every batch of chocolate seize up. Not fun. Returning it to the heat and adding 1-2 T of oil helped but it was super stiff (heh heh) and I was so over stirring it by the third batch. Though the recipe suggests using high quality chocolate, the only kind my grocery store had was Ghiradelli, and while that's a decent chocolate, it's nothing spectacular. I had some Ghiradelli white chocolate but upon opening it, it didn't smell the best. I think it had been in the cupboard for some time so the white chocolate ones were cheap Nestle's White Morsels. I used both regular and dutch process cocoa for some variety. The milk chocolate was Guittard and it turned out tasty but kinda grainy. I dipped the tops in candy melts and sprinkles so they'd look "pretty" but I think I will leave that step out next time because I thought the candy melts took away from the flavor of the chocolate. After a quick trip to the candy supply store for Cello bags I packaged them and sent them on their merry way. And though instant hot chocolate from packets make me nauseous, I was tempted to try these out and they were absolutely DELICIOUS! No stomach ache at all. You have to make sure the milk is a little on the hot side and it takes a little while for the chocolate to melt but my friends, it's well worth the wait.
