Mix 1/3 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup sugar. Add 1/4 cup skim milk and 2 tablespoons butter [note: if you substitute whole milk or cream, you can cut down (or cut out) the butter]. Microwave 30 seconds. Stir well. Microwave another 1-1/2 minutes. Taste. Add sugar ( 1 teaspoon at a time) if not sweet enough for you and/or add cocoa (1-2 teaspoons at a time) if not chocolate-ly or bitter enough for you. If you like a denser, richer texture add a teaspoon or so more butter. Once flavor is good, zap another 30 seconds, stir well. If you want it very thick, cook out more of the liquid by microwaving one minute at a time (be careful for burning and also note it can easily volcano out of the bowl). Once the sweetness, chocolate-ness, and thickness are good, add 1 teaspoon vanilla or brandy; stir well and enjoy!
