Aztec Hot Chocolate

Spicy and sweet. Over the holidays last year, I had hot chocolate with cayenne pepper in it. It was unexpectedly delicious. If you try this, add the cayenne, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    This was quite the treat. A nice mug of thick, rich, creamy, dark chocolate, flavored with red pepper, vanilla and honey. What an awesome treat. I added more honey to the chocolate to bring out all of the lovely spices and for added sweetness, I also added a pinch of corse sea salt. It truly is a taste experience, not to be missed.

    With wind chill temps at -25F today it was perfect weather for a pipping hot mug of cocoa. I made one serving and found it very tasty but I think I would like a little more sugar. I didn't really taste the spices - my pinches must have been too small I guess. Overall, a nice recipe which will be excellent with a couple adjustments. Thanks for the recipe! Update: I added a couple pinches of additional sugar and it really brought out the flavor more - I could taste the spices much better. The additional sugar (maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp) brought this from a 4* to a 5*. Thanks again!

    Unique twist on hot chocolate! It smelled wonderful while cooking, and the cayenne pepper adds a little kick to each sip. Thanks for sharing!
