6 year old logic
Hot chocolate = wonderful
Lots of chocolate = incredible
Therefore making hot chocolate with lots of chocolate powder = incredibly wonderful!

We're talking 2/3 of a cup full of powder here. Topped up with milk. Had to be stirred with a knife. And then we put it in the microwave and watched for our chocolatey delight to manifest.

Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
HOLY CHOCOLATE VESUVIUS WITH MANY TINY EXPLOSIONS BATMAN!
...
*ding!*

We had to chip it out of the microwave with a trowel. As she always did with food experiments, my mum made us eat it so the lesson would stick. It managed to be both chewy and slimy.
