For the frozen hot chocolate:

6 pieces of a variety of your favorite chocolates

The whipped cream:

1. Combine the cream and vanilla and mix well. With an electric mixer start whipping the cream on medium speed. Add the corn syrup slowly while beating. Whip until the cream holds soft peaks.


The frozen hot chocolate:

1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
