In a small pan, combine the chocolate, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk in 1 cup milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk and refrigerate for 1 hour. Pour the warm caramel sauce into a squeeze bottle and drizzle about half into the mugs or goblets so that it sticks to the sides. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks. Using a blender, process the ice and chilled chocolate mixture until smooth. Pour into the glasses. Top with the whipped cream and the remaining caramel sauce. Serve with straws and spoons.
