Can this be used to make a good tasting "hot chocolate". & would teens & kids like it also?

Absolutely would make a great tasting hot cocoa sweetened with honey--kids would love it!

Sure. You need to add sugar however. Heat up some milk, add about one or two teaspoons per cup and a heaping tablespoon of powder. You may need to experiment a bit to find your ideal taste.

I have never used it for hot chocolate but I used it in place of regular coca powder. I also use it to make smoothies and everyone, kids included love it. My kids are 12, 14 and 21. I have been using it for a year now for different things.

Yes, I should think you would be able to, although I have not personally tried it. They are the closest thing to a real marshmallow that I've been able to find. I made sugar free "moon pies" with them & my entire family loved them, including two very, very picky teenagers.Good luck!

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.

It would be fine. We had around 40 people at our party and had plenty of chocolate left. I bought 4 bags to go with it and only used 1. Be sure when you melt your chocolate use the Defrost button on microwave. It works Great!

Yes it can. You will heat/froth milk and add to your hot chocolate mix & then top hot coco with the frothed/foam head.

I think it's fine, but I do like it reasonably sweet (to me). TO some degree, you can control the sweetness by how much you use in the hot milk. Of course, that also varies the chocolate amount. I'd suggest buying a smaller amount to try first. This is a LARGE can.

If you add the powder while it's already stirring, maybe....but I wouldn't recommend it for long term hot chocolate use. I don't have first-hand experience since I dint drink hot chocolate but you don't want to gunk up the stirrers. Hope that helps!

Absolutely! I've done it many times and it works great! In fact, if I'm using my chocolate fountain for a class party, I usually pre-melt the chocolate in my fondue pot, then pour it into the fountain since there's no stove in the classroom. This chocolate melts to a very smoothe consistency quickly and tastes great. It's been a huge success at several classroom parties and my daughters sleep-over parties.

I have never tried it, but it might work if the chocolate is suppose to be melted at a low degree. Think of the babycakes as a warmer like a fondue pot. You heat it up in the microwave and then the warmer keeps it warm.

Personally I would not recommend that. I have steeped it in milk used for hot chocolate with a lot of chocolate, but it just made it smell like valerian root (bad). For me, it's very hard to mask the pungent aroma, so I grind and pill them.

I've never tried hot chocolate but I do blend it with almond milk, a few nuts and a banana to make a post workout drink, tastes great, just don't use too much powder.

Yes. It is fun to use but does get very hot. Also, don't expect a large amount each tim.

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

It's OK for Hollandaise sauce, if you make a small amount of it. It is also OK if you follow the original recipe and use a whisk.I do not, I actually use an electric hand mixer, so this silicone double boiler is not the best. This product is actually best for melting chocolate.

It can be used by adults....I just don't think it's a very good product. I might not have the "touch" to make it work properly.

I've used it for hot chocolate with milk and spiced cider. Works great! Just thoroughly clean it when you're finished.
