Mexican Hot Chocolate

If you enjoy a little kick to your hot chocolate then you might 
want to take a look at this. I whipped this up the other day using my standard hot chocolate recipe. The nice thing about this is 
that you can make it as spicy as you want. If you don't want any spice, you can leave out the cayenne and cinnamon and the grated chocolates and you'll end up with my hot chocolate recipe which 
is also yummy. But this is a fun and different recipe. You should try it! And make sure you read the recipe to see a fun way to give it as a gift. 

Mexican Hot Chocolate



1 15-ounce container box dry milk
1 9-ounce container Coffeemate Creamer (the dry kind; I used French Vanilla)
1 pound container Hot Cocoa (found in the coffee aisle; I used Stevens brand)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup milk chocolate ~ grated (I used my mini food processor for both chocolates)
1 cup white chocolate ~ grated
2 tablespoons cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)


Whisk ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Store in a covered container.

To make a cup of hot chocolate:

Add 3 - 4 heaping spoonfuls per mug of warm milk. Serve with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick. 

Here's what you need. I used my 

mini food processor to chop the chocolate.

Put everything in a big bowl.

Whisk it all together. Store in a covered container.

Look at these itty-bitty marshmallows!! 

They taste just like the marshmallows that 

come in Lucky Charm cereal! So cute and fun!

I got some clear ornaments and filled 

them half way with some of the chocolate mix. 

Make sure you use ornaments that aren't too big. 

If you get them too big and fill them, they're too 

heavy for the ornament hanger to stay in. 

Anyway....so cute, huh?
