I've been making this recipe for more than 10 years, and it disappears so quickly I've never gotten a chance to take pictures of it. This time around, I set up my surrounding shot, including the glass so that I was prepared. I made the hot chocolate, poured it, took my pictures.
I went to edit the pictures, and came back to an empty glass. The kid strikes again. It's good stuff. Try it. It's not overly sweet, which I love. I use the real NH maple syrup, but you can use maple flavoring if you can't get your hands on any.
If you live in a state that produces maple syrup, I highly recommend going for a tour during sugaring season. It's such an amazing process, so much work to yield that amber goodness! We look forward to Maple Weekend every year, and always meet such nice people and come home with a bag full of treats.
