Matt's Special Hot Coco

Hey y'all, seeing as the winter months are coming up soon, today we're gonna show you something quick and easy to fix before class in the mornings. We'll go over how to make it from buying your own ingredients and from snagging some from the dining commons.

Today: Finessed Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

Hot Chocolate Mix (any kind)
Whipped Cream
Marshmallows (mini or regular sized)
Cinnamon
Chocolate Syrup
Milk (or water)
OPTIONAL: Frother

 Regular way

Step 1: Heat up milk in the microwave. 3 minutes is optimal, but seeing as you're already hot stuff, heat it up to your liking.

Step 2: Add mix to milk, and, if you have one, use brother. This helps mix it better as well as make it creamier.

Step 3: Microwave the marshmallows separately from the milk on a plate until fluffy, if using regular 2 should do it. If you are using mini, however many fill up the cup should work. Put them in for about 30 seconds. Place on top of hot chocolate afterwards with a spoon or fork.

Step 4: Dizzle chocolate syrup on top of marshmallows to your liking.

Step 5: Add whipped cream to your liking starting at the outer edge and making your way in and up making a sexy cone shape, the ladies, or guys we don't discriminate, love it.

Step 6: Add a light drizzle of chocolate syrup on top of the whipped cream.

Step 7: Sprinkle cinnamon to your liking on top.

Dining Commons Way

 The dining commons has most ingredients you can use except for chocolate syrup and a frother. If you don't want to use their hot chocolate, do this to take some ingredients back to your room.

Milk: Fill a water bottle, or, and we don't condone illegal activities, take the whole gallon from the fridge in the dessert area.

Whipped Cream: Again we don't condone illegal activities, but whipped cream is a bit hard to keep whipped for the trip from the dining hall to your dorm, so just take the whole bottle.

Marshmallows: You know what cereal has marshmallows and is delicious? Lucky Charms. Use this instead and don't microwave.

Cinnamon: You know what cereal is cinnamon-y and is delicious? Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Crush this up into fine powder with your milk water bottle or a rock if your outdoorsy like that.

Now if you took the ingredients back to your room, repeat all the steps!

There you have it, finessed hot chocolate to warm you up and spice (get it, cinnamon) up your day.

There are also some awesome looking recipes that I have yet to try to finesse myself with these 10 types of hot chocolate

Cold Brew Coffee Milkshakes

Alright boys and girls, today we're going to finesse our first item: Cold Brew Coffee Milkshakes. This one may not be the cheapest on this list, but fasten your seatbelt, because we're about to board the flavor train. First, the ingredients and supplies neccesary: Ice cream Coffee (Preferably Cold Brew) Blender Spoon Cups (For however many you are serving) French Press Now lets make those shakes. Coffee : Any cold coffee will do, don't use hot unless you like to live life on the edge. We here at Midnight Munchies prefer Cold Brew coffee. You can either make your own cold brew or buy it from the Breezeway Grill (Located in the fridge closest to the grills). In order to make your own, buy any type of pre-ground coffee, an espresso such as Cafe Bustelo is nice for an extra caffeine buzz. Next, you need some way of soaking the coffee in water and straining it. The easiest way of doing this, especially when making enough for only one or two people is with a French

Not Just Food It's Finesse

Welcome to Midnight Munchies! Do you not have time to eat at the dinning commons? Do you not have money? Are you a starving college student? Food is something that we all love. The problem is that it can be very expensive whether we are buying groceries or eating out at a restaurant. My problem is that I love food so much that I spend most of my paycheck on it. By the time college rolls around, I have insufficient funds to treat myself. This is okay though because during my senior year of high school, I learned how to finesse cheap food to make it taste and look better. Although I am 5 weeks into college now, I have found that my past pizzazz has helped me to not starve through the semester.              If you’re a college student and want to make cheap good-looking food that makes people say, “wow what Starbucks did you get that from?”, then this site is for you. I’m here to show you how to finesse your way through college on a non-academic level. The content of thi

French Toast In A Mug

Are you French? Do you like Toast? Well I don't care if you are French or not because we are making some FRENCH TOAST. This week we will be cooking in mugs with a microwave. Pretty easy. Right? This is an easy semi-cheap recipe that will fill you up before your morning class. Ingredients: 1 or 2 slices of bread, cubed (doesn't matter what type. I prefer a baguette for crunchiness) 1 tbls butter 1 egg 3 tbls milk Dash cinnamon Drop of vanilla extract (optional) To begin to chef it up in your dorm, grab a mug. Next, cube whatever bread you have on hand. Melt the butter in the mug and swish it around a bit.Next, stuff the bread in the mug.  In a different cup, stir the egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla and pour the mix over the bread. squash the bread a little to allow the mix to soak into the bread. Then microwave for about 1 minute and add more seconds at a time until it looks cooked. When I cook it in my microwave it takes about 2 minutes.
