Subject: Hershey's dainties cookies
Hi: My friend needs a recipe she used in the 40s and 50s and it was before Hershey's
choc chips were invented - the product was called Hershey's dainties and she made
wonderful cookies with them - I pray you can find it for her! They are not "dainty"
of which I can find all kinds of cookies named dainties. This is referring to the
chocolate product named dainties. Thanks. Billie
Hi Billie,
Those cookies were actually called "Hershey's Chocolate Town Cookies".
See below for the recipe.

Subject: florentine hot chocolate
When I was in Italy, a local told us to be sure to have hot chocolate in Florence.
It was amazing-thick and rich, kind of like runny chocolate pudding. I bought some
packets at the store and they were great, but they are long since devoured. Can you
find a recipe for what the Florentines do in making their hot, drinkable chocolate?
Thanks for the great site!

Hi Virginia,
See below.
Phaed
Vestri's Florentine Hot Chocolate
5 tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder (Hershey's European Style, Van Hooten, or Droste)
2 tablespoons sugar
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups milk
Chili powder ( optional)
Place the cocoa powder, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the milk in a saucepan and
heat until the sugar melts, stirring well to remove any lumps. Boil and add the
remaining milk. Heat to steaming, always whisking to incorporate the chocolate
mixture.
Turn off the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir to melt the chocolate and
let it sit. Reheat to serve, stirring well before serving.
Vestri serves the hot chocolate with a pinch of chili powder, or ginger if you like.

Florentine Hot Chocolate
A couple of my friends took a cruise around Italy this summer and these are two of
the recipes they brought me. The second one is similar to your’s with slightly
different instructions.
Timm in Oregon
From the Rivoire Historic Bar and Chocolate Factory
Cioccolata Calda
Florentine Hot Chocolate
Adapted from “La scienza in Cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene” The Science in the Kitchen
and the Art of Eating Well: by Pellegrino Artusi
Ingredients:
3 ounces high quality bittersweet chocolate
1 cup water
2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened whipped cream
Dash of cinnamon, optional
Instructions:
Please pay careful attention to this process as it is very important: In the top of
a double boiler, over boiling water, combine the chocolate and the water to melt the
chocolate. Stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour into a blender and whip
for 30 seconds (or use an immersion mixer) or whisk by hand for 5 minutes. Return
mixture to double boiler and heat until hot and steamy. Serve with the whipped cream on
top.
Note: In Italy, many people add corn or potato starch as a thickener. You may want
to try this if you like your hot chocolate extremely thick, almost pudding like.
