Awww, sorry... Waking up and finding out there's no coffee is one of the worst experiences ever (at least in my book as a coffee-addict). I usually drink hot chocolate without candy cause I find the combination too sweet.
i've never understood why anyone would PUT marshmellows IN anything, or even eat the damd things at all. i always put chocklet in my coffee though. more like putting a little coffee in my chocklet. i get along just fine without coffee most of the time. my wife used to inhale the stuff, but now she doesn't hardly ever make it any more. once in a while i do though. so i can put what's left over (most of it) in the refrigerator and use it to 'season' the milk and chocklet i put on unsweetened dry cerial which is what i usualy have for desert. a while back there was a thread about how some of us find raisens less then wonderful. i'm sort of that way about marshmellows. coffee i like sometimes. but i can take or leave. like a lot of things. just as long as i can have my noodles and broth with some kind of protean in it for breakfast, which for me, often is midnight, or there abouts. yah, when i get on here i've USUALY just gotten up. in the middle of what is the local night. =^^= .../\...
I haven't had hot chocolate in years, but I make homemade hot chocolate on the stove top for the kids anytime they play out in the snow. It's tradition. They always know that when they come in from the cold that I'll have some hot chocolate for them. Sometimes with little marshmallows, or sometimes with whipped cream. Depends on what I have in the house.
I prefer hot chocolate with marshmallows, but it's okay if they're not there. Sometimes it's a little upsetting though when you get those hot chocolate packets with marshmallows included but by the time you drink it they've already melted...
I always found those rather strange, little dehydrated balls of sugar that puff up when you add water, and then melt pretty much intantly.
Meh..either/or, happy to have something. But, generally if I have no coffee, I'll drink double strong tea. ..Would have a headache by nightfall.
The little marshmellows are a must! I like to wait untill they're all mushy and soaked then eat em before I drink the hot chocolate =)
