I added it to my hot cup of milk and sugar and ta-da! Secret simple hot chocolate! Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or Cool Whip® to make even tastier.

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

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your hot chocolate. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't boil the milk: Boiling the milk will cause the chocolate to curdle. Heat the milk gently over medium heat, stirring constantly until it just begins to simmer.
- Add a pinch of salt: A pinch of salt will help to balance the sweetness of the chocolate and bring out its flavor.
- Use a whisk to blend the chocolate and milk: A whisk will help to create a smooth, lump-free hot chocolate.
- Garnish with whipped cream or marshmallows: Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic way to garnish hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that complements the chocolate perfectly.
