From Denny: Whew! It's so hot here it's 101 degrees F. in the shade! Sitting in front of the fan while I blog - and, oh, yeah, the air conditioning is on full blast too. :) Enjoy this quick chocolate fix on a hot day! Now everyone say after me, "Ah, chocolate comfort food!"

A sparkling drink with a hint of chocolate and cream. Even with the heavy cream, this is a very refreshing recipe for the heat of summer.

Ingredients:

•3 Tablespoons chocolate syrup

•3 Tablespoons heavy cream (I use low fat milk as a substitute)

•Crushed ice

•Club soda or other sparkling water

Preparation:

Add syrup and cream to the bottom of a glass and mix well. Add crushed ice to nearly full, and then top off with club soda.
