As a kid as a treat Mom would make up toast buttered and cut into 5
( not 4 or 6) strips which we would dunk into hot chocolate. The
trick was to dunk just long enough to call it satureated but not so
long it dropped into the bottom of the cup. Anyone else get such a
treat, the cinn. toast thread brought back that memory for me.

Oh yeah! I'd forgotten that trick about dunking toast! Thanks for the
reminder of fond memories Although hot milk was used instead of hot
water with instant coffee in lieu of hot chocolate.

Goomba, you would want your men standing at attention.

In college I lived in an off-campus house with a bunch of other girls
and a House Mother. We regularly congregated in the kitchen and made
hot chocolate and heavily buttered toast and had serious dunking
parties...of course talking "girl talk" all the while.

I haven't done that since. Thanks for the memories and the
suggestion.......now I want some !!

That was one of our common breakfasts as a kid. Well, sort of. Two
cups of cocoa (made from Hershey's Cocoa; cheap) and four slices of
toast each was typical. We didn't cut the toast into soldiers,
though. That would have been "fancy" and an object of scorn by all my
brothers and most of my sisters. Just butter the toast, fold it in
half, dunk, repeat as needed. :-)
