Hot Chocolate Bar- Two types, plus garnishes

What's better on a cold, winter evening then hot chocolate, especially if you are in the mountains with snow falling outside.

Here are two types of hot chocolate, classic plus winter white:

Classic Hot Chocolate-

1 pound of bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Winter-White Hot Chocolate

1 pound of white chocolate, chopped
1 cup of heavy cream
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
sugar, to taste

For either variation (each makes 8 servings,) bring 7 cups of milk to a simmer in a small pan over low heat, then whisk in the ingredients.

Garnish Station-  Drinks can be customized with ginger candies, crushed Butterfingers, coconut flakes, mini marshmallows, sliced Kit Kats, and Caramel Syrup.  Chocolate -dipped biscuit sticks and peppermint sticks function as stirrers.  For a more adult addition, decanters of dark rum and vanilla vodka.
