My handsome hubby introduced me to more than egg nog when we were married - he also taught me the joy of hot chocolate made with milk. I had previously used water with my mix (like the package instructs you to) and wowzers is so scrumptious when it is made with milk instead. We only keep skim milk in the house anyway, so it doesn't add any fat, and you get your calcium too, so if you don't mind some extra calories, it is soooo worth it.
Around the holidays, when I had some extra half and half lying around, I would stir some into Colin and Gabe's hot chocolate at the the end to cool it down. They lapped that stuff right up.
Oh, and instant oatmeal made with milk = way yummier as well.
