okay....here is my hot chocolate for two recipe. it makes two mugs full.

PREheat about 1 1/2 cups of water in an extra large mug or a bowl in microwave for 1 min 30 seconds.

while water is heating, prepare your mixture in each mug:

3 pkgs splenda
dash of salt
2 Tblspns Cocoa

add 1/4 cup of the hot water to each mug, and stir briskly with a fork til mixed well.

then add [to each mug]:

another 1/2 cup hot water
and 1/2 cup half-n-half

stir up, then:

microwave each mug for 1 minute 30 seconds. careful not to boil it over.

this may sound "involved" but it is quick and easy, and really nice on a cold night!
