Y'all don't Coco Coco,
let's continue keeping you warm with
an old-fashioned confectionery that's
serving up sweet hot chocolate.
I know that I could definitely
use one right now in my mug.
Clark is celebrating national Hot
Chocolate day by making a cup herself.
You saw that big old chunk of chocolate,
Clark. I have to know though,
are you nice and warm?
I am so warm right now.
I feel blessed to be inside this morning.
But more importantly,
I'm sipping on something nice.
Warm silky smooth.
Larry is going to tell us how they
make their shredded hot chocolate
here and so tell me, Larry,
what is shredded hot chocolate?
Well, Kilwins is the chocolate
fudge and ice cream shop,
and we've been making our heritage
dark chocolate since 1947.
We take our dark chocolate and shred
it like this and then as you melt it,
it becomes a drinking chocolate you.
To make hot chocolate,
you can make a iced chocolate drink.
We have all that here at kilwins.
Oh my gosh, and I love it.
And I have to say,
by the end of this segment,
if you don't want to go outside
and get something warm right now,
you'll be able to make your own
hot chocolate from scratch at home.
More than likely,
you already have the ingredients.
So, Larry, without further ado,
how do we make this hot chocolate?
Well, we're going to start
with eight ounces of milk.
So I just pour it in and of course,
you know, we want something a little sweet,
so we got to get the whole milk.
No almond milk, no oat milk for this one. OK,
alright, go ahead and pour that in,
Clark. That looks good.
And then we're going to have
two ounces of our heritage
dark chocolate shred. OK,
the dark chocolate shred.
Why is it important to have
the chocolate shredded like
this for your signature hot
cocoa? Well, one, it will make it melt
easier for for the drinking chocolate.
But also we use heritage dark chocolate
so that when you add the milk,
you really get a velvety milk chocolate.
So we have to start it with dark chocolate.
OK, I like that. And people at home,
they can get melting chocolate
from the store. Maybe even use
like a cheese grater, Ida sum or
absolute shredded it.
The the the chocolate explosion
that you had at the front.
You can buy that here at kilwins in £10
bars and melt it at home if you like.
I love that next step. What are we doing?
And then you're going to steam
it. We'll put that right
under here. OK OK. Important
to steam it. How long
does it usually take for you guys?
30 seconds or so to steam it up.
Now, if you really want something special
on a cold morning like this part,
we'll put some espresso in this
and you'll have a mocha and
that'll get the day going. You need
to get your day going.
So we always need caffeine
in the morning to get us to
wake up a little bit, but.
This is so awesome.
I've always seen melting
tackle as something that you
can strawberries or you know,
with other pastries that I never
thought to melt it down into a hot pot.
It is a great way to start your day life.
Like Great Day SA yeah if you're
having a bad day. Make it good.
A good day. We'll make it great.
OK.
As I mentioned, we've been
Sweden every since since
1947, and we just make the best
confections you'll ever enjoy.
That's going to be handcrafted fudge,
caramel apples, caramel corns,
all types of brittles.
We make a fine chocolate for Valentine's,
all your sweethearts and the ones you love.
And those are truffles
and creams and tuttles.
Now we're topping our hot
cocoa with nice whipped cream.
That's right. And then we also have
on a warmer day or even on a cold day,
the best super premium ice cream
you'll ever enjoy is 32 flavors.
We're making warm waffle cones
and waffle bowls for it all day.
So if it's hot or rainy or cold,
whatever season you're having
in your life, come to kilwins.
Larry, thank you for
having me out this morning.
Honestly, I could drink.
Hot chocolate everyday.
If it were 100 degrees and
he went in San Antonio,
this is the bomb. And you guys,
you can make something similar at home.
So if you're staying in,
you're staying off the roads today.
Maybe do a fun activity
and warm up and take
pictures, do a video.
If you ever try to make this,
tag me in your photos.
Tag great defender photos because we
want to see you guys actually do this.
Roma, what do you think? I absolutely
love it. It's the perfect recipe that
we all need this morning. Thank you
so much, Clark.
