• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• White chocolate curls, optional

1. In a small heavy saucepan, melt chocolate with corn syrup over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Cover and set aside until cool. In a large saucepan, heat milk until small bubbles form around edge. (Do not boil.)
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat cream and cooled chocolate mixture on medium-low speed until soft peaks form. To serve, spoon chocolate cream into mugs; add hot milk and stir gently. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
