damn snow!

So its snowing...again. Were expecting 5 inches here in the valley tonight and its gonna suck. a lot. Ya know what doesn't suck? Hot, spicy, frothy, creamy Mexican style hot chocolate. What, prey tell, is "Mexican style hot chocolate" you ask? Well its a far cry from the powdered crap your mom used to add to hot water with little lucky charms-esk "marshmallows". Its much more satisfying. Rich , smokey, almost coffee like top notes are highlighted by a spicy cinnamon nose, and creamy dark finish. Its a magical experience.

My favorate brand is Ibarra Mexican Chocolate . It has a nice short ingredient list:
Sugar, cacao nibs, lecithin (emulsifier) and cinnamon.

That chemical laden powder crap has around 13 separate ingredients...including dipotassium phosphate. Sounds tasty...no? NO!
Ibarra Mexican Chocolate, 18.6 oz
So next time your feeling the icy kiss of jack frost nipping at your...everything, Whip up a cup of Mexican antifreeze and have a reason to live again!
