Spicy Hot Chocolate image

Gently seasoned with a touch of chile powder, cinnamon and vanilla, this fragrant hot chocolate recipe is not too sweet and very complex. Using both cocoa powder and chocolate gives the roundest, deepest chocolate flavor while a mix of whole milk and cream makes it wonderfully rich and thick.

I followed the recipe exactly and my hot chocolate turned out bitter. I think I may have used too much chili powder.

This hot chocolate is so easy to make and it tastes amazing! I love that I can adjust the spiciness to my liking. I also like that it's made with dark chocolate, which makes it healthier than traditional hot chocolate.
