Recipe - Microwave Hot Chocolate

4 cup Milk
1 pack (4serving size) JellO
pudding and pie filling;
chocolate or chocolate
fudge flavor
Cool Whip whipped topping;
thawed (optional)
Chocolate curls (optional)

POUR milk into 2quart microwavable bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire
whisk until well blended. Microwave on HiGH 5 minutes; whisk again. Pour
into mugs. Top with whipped topping and garnish with Chocolate Curls, if
desired.

CHOCOLATE CURLS:

1. Spread 4 squares melted chocolate with spatula into very thin layer on
baking sheet. Chill until firm but still pliable, about 10 minutes.

2. To make curls, slip tip of straightside metal spatula under chocolate.
Push spatula firmly along baking sheet, under chocolate, so chocolate curls
as it is pushed. (If chocolate is too firm to curl, let stand a few minutes
at room temperature; chill again if it becomes too soft.)

3. Carefully pick up each chocolate curl by inserting wooden pick in
center. Lift onto waxed paperlined baking sheet. Chill until firm, about
15 minutes. Arrange on desserts. (Lift with wooden pick to prevent breakage
or melting.)
