Super easy to make - my ten year old sister could do it. I cheated slightly by heating the milk and butter in the microwave and then mixing it into the sugar/cocoa mix; I also left out the walnuts and used about three times as much cinnamon (because I loooooove cinnamon). Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Definitely double the recipe, though. I didn't because I was just testing it out (and I didn't have enough cocoa left), but it doesn't make much as it is.
