11121 Chile Hot Chocolate 10 mins 10 mins 2 drinks Mon Oct 01 15:43:00 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 23 11:44:21 -0700 2009 Easy Mexican CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11121 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:44:21 GMT Hot, spicy, and very chocolaty A hot and spicy take on creamy, rich hot chocolate. The amount of cayenne in this recipe may look like a lot, but the cream and chocolate subdue it, making for a kick of spice and an empty cup.

What to buy: For this recipe, use high-end chocolate, such as El Rey 41 percent milk chocolate.

Game plan: To make this for a party, quadruple the recipe, use a larger saucepan, keep the hot chocolate warm over very low heat or in a slow cooker, and serve it in shot glasses or demitasse cups.
