White Hot Chocolate

When I was younger I hated chocolate.  My mom always told me it was probably because when she was pregnant with me, she ate a candy bar everyday on her break!  Unfortunately for my waistline, over the years I have started liking it more and more.  But if I had to choose between white and milk chocolate.... white chocolate every time!  I love white chocolate.  I was so excited to try this recipe for homemade white hot chocolate.  It has been freezing in Utah and we just got a huge snow storm!  This sure did hit the spot perfectly.  I thought it was the most delicious hot chocolate that I have ever tried!  It was amazing!!
