Marzipan Hot Chocolate

My daughter and my husband visited a chocolate museum in Berlin yesterday.  Of course, everyone here was speculating about the museum gift shop.  According to facebook, they sampled marzipan hot chocolate and loved it.  We're almost past hot chocolate season here in Arizona, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.  YUM! : )



Ingredients

1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, rounded
1 oz. marzipan
1 c. milk


Directions

Combine chocolate and marzipan in a food processor until it resembles a very coarse meal.  Heat milk until steaming.  With the motor running, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture; process until throughly combined.  Return to pan and heat to desire temperature.

(If making more than one cup, only add one cup of milk to the chocolate mixture.  Combine the chocolate mixture with the remaining milk in the saucepan.
