I love chocolate. Especially good chocolate and when you combine that with hot chocolate, you good one fantastic hot chocolate. A few years ago I had an extremely thick hot chocolate that was just amazing. It took my sister years to find the recipe and then she modified it to our taste. So here is the Mexican hot chocolate recipe that we’ve adapted. It tastes so good. I hope you enjoy it. I plan on making a batch later tonight considering it’s 5 degrees here in Cincinnati today.
Stay warm and enjoy!

3 Tbsp brown sugar or more if you want it sweeter
2 oz bittersweet chocolate

2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of salt
