In my experience, maple syrup and olive oil (together) do not improve the taste of hot chocolate. They do keep it nice and smooth, though.

What about either separately? OK, the olive oil just sounds gross, but the maple syrup seems like it should hold tasty promise.

maybe maple hazelnut hot chocolate?

[rissymonster]

Yes please awesomepants!

Um, so yeah. That sounds fabulous.

Isn't there already oil in chocolate?

[dooneling]

I don't think there's oil in the cocoa powders I was using. Maybe I should use better quality chocolate, too.

cute_fuzzy_evil has been known to add a little butter when she melts chocolate down to make hot chocolate. I'm unclear as to the reason, but it may serve a similar role?

Would peanut oil work better? Than olive oil, that is. Maple syrup is a whole other ball of metaphor.
