SIMPLE HOT COCOA FOR ONE
As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

Steps:
- Whisk together the cocoa, sugar, salt, and about 2 tablespoons milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until cocoa and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the rest of the milk and heat it over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it is hot. Stir in the vanilla and serve.
- If you like it frothy, blend it in the blender.
- This recipe multiplies easily. When you get up to a quart of milk, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.
KENTUCKY BOURBON FUDGE
This is a creamy old-fashioned fudge. Please don't skimp on the bourbon...use a fine one, such as Four Roses or Woodford Reserve. Maker's Mark is also acceptable. Always remember what every Kentuckian knows: Whiskey is no substitute for bourbon!

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, mix sugar and cocoa until blended.
- Add milk and stir until blended.
- Add heat and slowly bring mixture to a boil. Allow mixture to boil up and dissolve sugar crystals on the sides of the pan.
- Boil until candy reaches the soft ball stage (230-240 degrees), stirring constantly.
- To test for "soft ball stage" drop a little of the candy mixture in clean, ice cold water. If you can roll it around with your finger and it holds together, it's ready.
- Remove from heat, and stir in bourbon.
- "Beat" mixture with a spoon, stirring briskly until the candy starts to crust around the sides of the saucepan and the mixture thickens considerably.
- Pour into a buttered 9x13 glass dish. Allow to cool slightly and cut into squares.
- Press a whole pecan into the top of each square.
- Enjoy!

KENTUCKY KOCOA/COCOA
Recently purchased a bottle of creme de cacao and began looking for recipes that included this chocolate flavored liquor. Since I am not much of a cocktail drinker, but love hot drinks this one really appealed to me. Have not tried it yet but decided to share my find.

- In a small saucepan, add milk, vanilla bean pod and all of the spices (everything but the chocolate, sugar and bourbon). Bring to a simmer over low heat to allow spices to infuse the milk.

Add a cup of hot chocolate to each, top with homemade whipped cream and grate chocolate on top for garnish. Enjoy immediately!
