Homemade Hot Chocolate

I had a teenage girls at my house this weekend.   It started snowing and they all shot out of the house to go get cold and wet.  I knew Hot Chocolate was expected when they returned.  I looked in my cabinets and there was not any of my "quick and easy"  Swiss Miss packets.  I found this Better Homes and Garden recipe and tried it and it was sooooo delicious,  almost like having a desert.

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
1/3 cup sugar
4 or 5 cups of milk
marshmallows

In a medium saucepan combine semisweet chocolate, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the milk.
Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture just comes to a boil.  Do not boil.
Remove from heat.  If desired beat milk mixture with a rotary beater till frothy. 
Serve with marshmallows  This makes about 4 cups so double the recipe for 8

(time cutting tip:)  be heating the remainder 4 cups of milk in microwave while waiting on  chocolate mixture to melt
