Hi everyone!

This is the coffee I make myself when I want something elegant, easy, and quick!

And the cost is totally convenient!

Ingredients:

1- A cup of milk, I ALWAYS use fat free.

2- 1 1/2 tea spoon of good instant coffee.

3- 1 Mars bar.

Now:

- Put milk over medium heat for 1 minute while cutting the bar into small pieces ~ the finest the best.

- Add the chocolate to the milk and stir gently and continuously.

- When the mix starts sizzling most of the chocolate is supposed to be melted.

- At this point add the instant coffee and stir quickly.

- Pour into your favorite cup and enjoy =).

At the bottom of the cup you'll find some chocolate, get a spoon and have fun!

I wish you'll like it *.*

Wow! How did you come up with that?

I'd always thought that chocolate goes with coffee. tried to add some pieces of it to my black one for a quick flavor change. then it's nuts came in the way, so had to go for some creamy or caramel choice; Mars was the one. enhanced to milk instead of water .. and BAM! here it is!

Interesting... I've been doing something similar with Hershey bars for making hot chocolate, but I hadn't thought of adding coffee - mostly because, until I tried Starbucks Via, I couldn't stand the taste of instant coffee and never kept it around the house.

I may have to give this a shot.

I'm thinking the coffee becomes the back ground flavor so it might be a little overshadowed by the candy bar.

Looks delicious. We had a birthday cake at my Nephews house this past weekend that had about a cup of coffee in it. Was actually pretty delicious.

yes it is. coffee goes reeeally good with chocolate to me. in this recipe they are balanced. you can adjust ingredients to have little coffee in the background, or let it be like 2 spoons of instant coffee and half a bar for more coffee flavor,

but my advice, try it for the first time with those exact measurements , then adjust whatever you like it =)

I've made the mistake of messing with recipes before trying it the original way and it rarely works out well.

Some of my favorite (in a schadenfreudistic way) threads on Home Brew Talk start that way - "I followed the recipe exactly, except..." I used different ingredients, a different brew time, an entirely different appliance... "and I don't understand why it didn't work right." XD

I've seen that before on some of the other forums I'm on. One is a cooking forum. People will rate recipes but add the info on the changes they made. It ends up not being the recipe that was originally there yet they rate the original recipe highly. If it was so great why did you mess with it? Baffles me.
