Cold, wintery, snowed-in days just scream hot chocolate.
But the best kind of hot chocolate? Spicy, cinnamon-y, Mexican hot chocolate.
Sure, you can pull out the double-boiler, melt some chocolate, stir in milk, etc, etc.
Or you can just use a packet of instant hot chocolate or cocoa powder and jazz it up a bit.
Instant hot chocolate {or cocoa powder + sweetener} + cayenne pepper + cinnamon = delish.
{yeah, that’s totally Polar Express hot chocolate. I know you’re jealous.}
Super Speedy Mexican Hot Chocolate
1. Fill mug with ~6oz water. Put in microwave for 1 minute 50 sec.
2. Stir in hot chocolate mix.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. {Amount varies according to taste. I like a lot of spice- it has to cover that horrible chocolate flavor. 
}
4. Drink!
All it’s missing is some mini fake marshmallows…..
