Easy Mexican Hot Cocoa

As a thriving chocolate addict, I was super excited to come across this cocoa recipe that reminds me of one of my favorite Chocolate Crinkle Cookie recipes…and that is because they have a little bit of an awesome spicy kick to them.

By the way, If you want the recipe for those Mexican Crinkle Cookies, you can find them here. It’s one of those recipes that you either LOVE and make them all the time, or you won’t like them… but they’re one of my fave’s (and a recipe that I personally developed) so this biased opinion is that you should at least try them… lol.

I will stop talking up my cookie recipe and get back on track with these Easy Mexican Hot Cocoa Cookies, ha ha.

First we are going to start out with the process of making them:

It may be a stove-top recipe, and doesn’t utilize a slow cooker…but it could easily be made with a different warming method.

I like this drink so much that I have to pace myself when I make it so that I don’t overdo my sugar intake…which is why I try to keep it for special occasions only.
