mmm mmm

Julie Wilson from Mt Vernon, TX

if there is one thing I do its hot chocolate. I don't do coffee, I rarely do soda and I do tea sometimes, but hot cocoa is my thing and this one hits the spot. Even just smelling it after its poured up is tantalizing to my taste buds.
Best of Both Worlds

Shadow Kistner from Cave City, AR

I tried this cocoa drink, because I like chocolate a lot and my husband likes cinnamon, I thought what the heck, I am one who will try anything once,well most anything. I made it and gave a cup to my husband first, he took a small sip and I walked away to get mine, and before I could set down to enjoy my cocoa, he was asking for seconds. So yes this was a beverage I will be making on those cool nights when he is home from his job. Thank you for such a good idea.
Great hot drink

ANN ALSULAIMAN from PERRY, MI

We love hot chocolate. We tried this one and it was a big hit. The touch of cinnamon was so good and a big change. We mix up a big batch on cold Michigan nights to sip in front of the fire.
Awesome Mexican Hot Chocolate

PAM CIPALA from MINNEAPOLIS, MN

WOW, this warms you up all over and is so easy to make. My kids won't drink any other hot cholcate after having this.
Great on a cold night !!

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

The kids love this Hot Cocoa after they come in from playing outside with it being so cold out. They even like taking some back outside in mugs. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Love this Mexican Hot Cocoa

Linda Rios-Anderzak from CLAWSON, MI

I usually make Mexican hot cocoa with a product where everything is already done for you in chunk form. However, upon searching for recipes here I found this recipe, tried it and loved it. I can adjust the cinnamon to suit my taste. Easy and fast to make using products I already had on hand. Thanks
EXCELLENT!!!

Delicious, very good. Everybody liked it, good for partys.
Almost right

Tiffany Preble from BATAVIA, OH

This hot cocoa recipe is pretty good, but if you are use to the real deal, it's a bit of a let down. It tastes good, and the consistancy was good, but not perfect. It's actually harder to make the cocoa this way than it is the way I was taught growing up. The spice was just a little off, but that could be adjusted by the amount of cinnamon/chocolate you use.

This recipe was very good! Don't forget if you don't have milk use Carnation Evaporated Milk; when I make cocoa I like canned milk better. A pinch of cayenne pepper really KICKS this up...
