Superrich hot chocolate fights single-digit temps

You know how Arctic explorers eat, like, whole sticks of butter just to keep their calorie count up? Well, Minnesota winters may not be as brutal as South Pole climes, but today's forecast predicts a high of 6 degrees (!): Time to fuel up with the world's most caloric hot chocolate if you plan on being outside for more than about 2.5 minutes. My recipe is a lighter version of Food & Wine magazine's Superrich Hot Chocolate, and it's still so thick you can practically chew it. I only bust it out for winter camping trips (and credit it for my survival of those trips!), but I'm sure it could work just as well for skiing, skating, or digging out your car.
