So..in response to Jaciel and also because I didn't have unsweetened cocoa powder... I used Nestle hot chocolate mix instead. It came out a bit too sweet so id suggest when using chocolate milk powder, use only half the sugar that this calls for( since that already has sugar in it) and probably add a little more milk because it was a bit dense for my liking. Doh! Did this call for oil? I didn't use any..maybe that's why. That's the good thing about this recipe, it can be altered to your taste :)

I always put chocolate chips in. You can also grate up some orange zest or crush up a thin mint cookie in a bag and mix it with the dry ingredients.

Really cool way to make a quick desert, but one of mine came out quite dense, what did I do wrong? :s

This seemed like the silliest thing ever, but I stood in front of the microwave exposing myself to radiation (!) just to watch the magic happen. And, it did! What a great way to make a 5-minute treat!

I wouldn't think stopping the cooling process was a good idea. But I suppose if it works you! :)

Tried it this morning and it was delicious! I think I'm going to mix in some walnuts next time I make it.. And I love how it falls out of the coffee mug without sticking to the sides. Thanks for sharing!!

Its definitely delicious. In my opinion it tastes better with just cream, though we didn't have any so ice cream was suffice! :)
