Fair Trade Hot Chocolate!

Hello y'all!
So, for our globalization project we are holding 4 seminars this school year. And my group (Nell, Rachael, Sam and me) decided to do ours on fair trade chocolate. Why? Uh. Because we all love chocolate (Duh). And we care about people who make chocolate exist by GROWING COCOA BEANS!
In order to lure people to come to our seminar, we made THREE types of hot chocolate. Mexican- styled, regular, and HOMEMADE ITALIAN! We went out and bought fairtrade chocolate bars from Trader Joe's and melted them and added milk and all that good stuff and stirred for an hour and it tasted WONDERFUL. SO THICK. SO CREAMY. AW. If our blog wasn't Disney-appropraite I would say it's like an ****** in your mouth. Really.
Here's the recipe:

How to Make Italian Hot Chocolate
What You Will Need:
Ø4 ounces bittersweet chocolate 70% or higher
Ø1 1/2 cups whole milk
Ø2 tablespoons sugar
Ø2 teaspoons corn starch
What To Do:
ØInto a saucepan over LOW heat add chocolate and a smidge of milk. Stir with a wooden spoon until melted.
ØSLOWLY add remaining milk until it’s well combined. Add sugar. Mix to combine. Whisk in corn starch.
Continue cooking over LOW heat until it becomes thick, creamy and coats the back of the wooden spoon.
