HOT CHOCOLATE CONES
A perennial winter favorite, hot cocoa with all the trimmings (mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and a cherry-red gumdrop) sports an even sweeter look packaged as a cone.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the cocoa mix into one of the bags. Close the bag with a clear rubber band, then trim the end of the bag 1 inch above the band. Place the cocoa-filled bag into the second bag and flatten its top so the end doesn't stick up. Layer the chocolate chips and the marshmallows, then top with the gumdrop. Secure the bag with the other rubber band.
MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE
This delicious, not-too-sweet Mexican hot chocolate is richly flavored with cocoa and delicately seasoned with spices. The whole-stick cinnamon stirrers come in handy, as the old-fashioned chocolate mixture settles if not stirred before drinking. The blend of cinnamon and chocolate flavors is wonderful! -Kathy Young, Weatherford, Texas

Steps:
- In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water combine chocolate and water and stir until chocolate is melted and sauce is somewhat smooth, about 20 minutes. (Most of the water will have evaporated and mixture will have thickened slightly.) Remove bowl from heat and stir in cream and liqueur until combined well. Cool sauce completely and transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 1 month. Serve sauce over ice cream.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to grease your pan well before baking the cornbread, or it will stick.
- For a crispy crust, bake the cornbread for a few minutes longer than the recommended time.
- Serve the cornbread warm with butter or honey for a delicious treat.
