I like mine with marshmellows..so I am screwed.
I usually take it with whipped cream.......so I can get a quick head-rush from the mini "whip-it" in the can.
LMAO Jer!!!! I take mine with whipped cream too.

Danny, do you like the mini marshmellows or do you go for the full monty and use the big ones?

I have a "special" coffee mug, and I don't care what anyone says, the coffee tastes better in that mug, then it does from any other mug I have. Its just the right thickness of ceramic, the handle conforms precisely to my hand, and its mine. LOL My mom got it for me at a yard sale too. It has a pretty little duck on it, and says "You quack me up". LOL
FULL MONTY....always

Actually, I love hot chocolate (and I like your post Jeff..I cut and pasted it into an email for some friends)
