Then the other night I realized I had all the ingredients to make it myself. It turns out that my recipe made the best hot chocolate I have ever had. Here is my recipe in case you want to make some yourself:<\/p>\n<p>Combine in a large mug:<br \/>\n      One cup Half &#038; Half<br \/>\n      One cup Hershey Syrup     <\/p>\n<p>Nuke for one minute, add 3 large marshmallows.
