I'm allergic to chocolate, so I can't try this recipe. :(

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes with fewer ingredients.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my drinking chocolate turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This drinking chocolate is a great way to use up leftover orange zest. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
