Hot Chocolate

What a day! It’s cold, rainy and no snow around to make it cosy. I have a cold and Mr. K is sick  in bed. It’s chilly in our flat and I am sitting wrapped in a blanket, drinking tea and trying to write an introduction to a paper on local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in central and edge populations of ruderal plant species along elevational and latitudinal gradients. (What?). I know.

All that can help here is a steaming hot chocolate with cream! It’s the easiest thing to do really. Put some milk in a pan. Add your favorite dark Chocolate. I like the Chocolate, which is not sweet at all. Warm and steer it until all Chocolate is melted. In the meantime whip some cream. Pure the hot Chocolate in a mug and add the cream. Enjoy! But careful, the milk is hot. I always burn my tongue on the first sip because I can’t wait:-(

Make your own Chocolate bar

Have you ever wanted to make your own Chocolate bar? It’s very easy. You need dark chocolate, butter or coconut oil and whatever you want to have in the chocolate. I used almonds, cranberries and apricots.

Melt the chocolate, add the oil or butter and maybe some cream. Cut the nuts and berries and fruits. Pour the melted chocolate into a flat form and put the nuts, berries and fruits on top of the chocolate. Finished.

The idea from the serendipity blog. There is also a nice way how to wrap the chocolate for a gift.
