Advice
- Cow's milk can be substituted for soy milk, or you can also use semi-skimmed milk.
- For a change, instead of milk chocolate, try white chocolate.
Warnings
- Excessive consumption of chocolate, milk and cream can have negative health effects - only drink chocolate from time to time!
- Be very careful when using the microwave - the cup can get hot!
- Do not let the milk overflow while you melt the chocolate.
