There is nothing more comforting when it’s cold or nasty outside than a cup of hot cocoa. Using a high-grade, unsweetened dark chocolate powder gives this hot cocoa a rich, deeply intense, chocolate flavor without the Calories. I recommend using a 60 to 70% unsweetened dark cocoa powder. You can readily find and purchase high-grade cocoa powder at Costco (or try a restaurant supply store) for a reasonable price, and cocoa lasts forever.
Ingredients
- 1 T 60 to 70% unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 capful of pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 3 packets of Splenda or 1 tsp of sucralose
- Heat cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and 3 packets of Spenda or sucralose in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir well with a small whisk until your desired temperature, making sure not to bring to boil.
- Pour into cup. *You may add 1 T of nonfat real dairy whipped topping, as it is a free food.

On another note I saw your crunchless abs on TV! I will be checking on you for exercise tips as the year goes…I'm starting gardening first as a joy and my starting exercises for now though!
Sounds delicious & I'm eager to give it a try. I didn't like dark chocolate until my husband converted me a few years back. Now I won't even eat milk chocolate.
I'll zip over to check your online fitness club after I sign off here. Thanks for a great sounding recipe.

When you become a dark chocolate lover, it is impossible to eat milk chocolate. Way too sweet!!
Hey Babita-Just took a look at your hot cocoa recipe, which looks delicious. I love English chocolate. Much better taste and grade than what we can get in the U.S. Thank goodness for Scharfenberger and Dagoba, which is organic…L.
I always preferred chocolate flavor in cakes and other edibles. Chocolate have their harmful side effects but also useful qualities. Chocolate flavor are recommended by doctors in case of high blood pressure. Bulk Candy and dark chocolates are always proved helpful in critical cases.
I usually rush to my closest vending machines to grab a sip of hot coca coffee or hot chocolate coffee. But I also take a lot of care and check to see if its high on calories or not. You just do not realize that you are sipping on high amount of calories.
Thanks for sharing this recipe its really a good one you have.
