Upside-Down Hot Chocolate

OK as strange as this might sound it was very yummy. I found the recipe online at with the Fox 13 recipes. You know the ones they do during the afternoon news hour. It was very easy and lots of fun. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So I thought that I would share. Well I also just used some white chocolate chips and it still turned out well. On the picture I used a small mason jar simply so that you could see how it looks. Enjoy!

White Hot Chocolate:
1 cup heavy

4 cups half and half

  • Stir continuously until white chocolate has completely melted.
  • Stir in half and half, and vanilla.
  • Continue cooking until heated through.
  • Pour into cups and top with chocolate whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and a Pirouette cookie!
