Chocolate Heaven!

French Chocolate (hot cocoa)

5 sq unsweetened chocolate
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 pint heavy cream

Melt chocolate on low heat. Add 1 cup boiling water while stirring vigorously. Heat well. add salt and sugar. Cook over medium low heat for about 10 minutes stirring continuously. Chill, possibly overnight, or at least 4 hours. To serve, whip 1 pint heavy cream until stiff and then fold into chocolate. Add heaping spoonfuls to hot milk and stir.

**This is also delicious eaten as a chocolate mousse (instead of stirring into milk)
