We don't live anywhere near a Wawa, but whenever we see one when we travel we stop in for hot chocolate, even if it's summer. It's soooo good!

I like this one:

Parisian Warm Chocolate

1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Garnish:
Sweetened cream, softly whipped
Ground cinnamon, optional

In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the milk, cream, and sugar to a simmer together, heating just until bubbles appear around the edges of the liquid.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring to melt it completely. If necessary return the pan to low heat while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted. The mixture should appear smooth, evenly colored and very warm.
Serve warm in demitasse or espresso coffee cups with softly whipped cream and a shake of cinnamon if desired.

Yum! This one too!

Orange-Kissed Hot Chocolate

2 cups milk
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 (2 x 1-inch) orange peel strips (orange part only)
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts. Increase heat and bring just to boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and whisk until frothy. Return to heat and bring just to a boil again. Repeat heating and whisking once again.
Discard orange peel. Pour hot chocolate into mugs.
