An Unfair Advantage

We're talking about the very seriousness business of HOT CHOCOLATE you understand. Apparently I make the 'best hot chocolate' - not just according to the sons, but also their friends. There are several essential ingredients:

• caramel syrup
• mini marshmallows
• proper hot chocolate made with cocoa and milk and sweetened to taste

But unfairly I also have a secret weapon - my Bamix. This is like a hand-blender, but it comes with interchangeable blades that do different jobs. One of these blades aerates - and you can use it to whip skimmed (yes, skimmed - not even unhealthy hot chocolates!) up to practically the consistency of whipped cream. Perfect for topping off the hot beverage that is so popular in our house.
