Brew it Keurig strong, add a dollop of cream, toss in a few mini marshmallows and you’re ready to go — in seconds.

It may not be grandma’s hot chocolate, with the milk slowly warmed on the stove and the chocolate patiently stirred, but dip a thick slab of toasted homemade bread (from your handy bread machine) in it and let the memories flow.

Remember the fun mug! That is half the magic.
