Joe, actually I used unsweetened cocoa powder in place of hot chocolate mix because I didn't have hot chocolate mix on hand and knew that it wouldn't make much difference. I'd say either would work fine.

Ah, so that's how they make it. Have you tried it without adding the store-bought hot chocolate mix? The reason I ask is that most mixes are just sugar, cocoa, and non-fat dry milk (with stabilizers etc. for extending shelf life). So essentially they're taking chocolate, sugar and milk and adding sugar, chocolate and milk.

Nathan, it's not my recipe here, it's the official recipe from Serendipity's cookbook. (It's the same as the one on Oprah's site, as well.)

The actual recipe is posted on Oprah's website. http://www.oprah.com/foodhome/food/recipes/food_20041028_frrrozen.jhtml I'll try your recipe anyway.

Thanks, Jen. I forgot to mention that the recipe can serve up to 4 people, depending on portion size. If you want to make it in the size glass you see in the pic, which holds about 8 ounces of liquid, you can make 4. With taller daquiri-style goblets, it'd probably make 2.

OOOOOOOOHHHH. Thanks, Allison, because now I'm heading out to buy some chocolate to make sure I get drunk on Frrrozen Hot Chocolates tonight, approaching swimsuit season be damned.
