Hot Chocolate History
Hot chocolate is considered a comfort food and is widely consumed in many parts of the world. Thank God! Could you imagine not ever having the pleasure of drinking hot chocolate in this lifetime? I don't even want to think about it! *Shudder the thought!" So glad the Aztecs discovered hot chocolate!
Modern research has discovered that chocolate reduces levels of stress hormones in the bodies of people feeling highly freaked or stressed out. I can attest. When I get even a little bit stressed, the first thing I reach for is chocolate! I need it, I want it, it calms me. It's my sanctuary. My happy place. 🙂
According to a study conducted at Cornell University, the antioxidants in hot cocoa is almost twice as strong as red wine. Whoa!!! Cocoa's concentration was two to three times stronger than that of green tea and four to five times stronger than that of black tea. Good to know right? Beam me up Scotty!
So, am I obsessed? Yup...

I wonder if there’s a way to use marshmallow in the topping? Maybe marshmallow cream?

I haven't tried it, but you could probably add it to the top before serving. Hope you enjoy!
