CHOCOLATIER'S NOTES:
Pronounced Choco-la'tl, this hot chocolate is based on the traditional cacao drink that the Aztecs regarded as liquid gold. Using our exquisite Authentic Hot Chocolate recipe as a base, we add a hint of ground chilies and cinnamon to creat a soothing chocolate experience.
OUR NOTES:
This is a wonderful hot chocolate! It's the hot chocolate we give samples of at our group tastings, because it's just so fun! The balance of the flavors of chocolate, chili, cinnamon and sugar are just right. First you get the warmth of the hot chocolate and then, a moment later when you swallow, the second warmth of the chilies kicks in warming you all they way down. A delightful experience if you like things a little spicy. This is the first hot chocolate we grab when we feel just a bit under the weather, or like we are coming down with something, or when it's really cold and damp outside, or when a blizzard hits, or...
For those that find this a bit too fiery, a nice dollop of whipped cream on top usually mellows it right out.
