Very tasty recipe. However, as others have noted, 3/4 c. sugar is too sweet. I followed another poster's suggestion and reduced sugar to 1/4 c. and the sweetness was just right.

Either Michael has a sweet tooth beyond comprehension or the 3/4 c. sugar was an error. Once sugar is accounted for, it's a great recipe, worthy of 5 stars.

This is a great recipe for mexican cocoa but i'd like to suggest adding 1/2 -1 stick of margarine and substuituting the chocolate with about 3/4 cups of baking cocoa.I don't use water either,just milk. I have been making it this way for years for my children and they love it! The butter thickens the hot cocoa and the baking cocoa gives it a great cocoa taste. Once you try it you will have a great traditional hot cocoa recipe to pass down and to entertain.

This Hot Chocolate recipe was soo very easy to make. I usually get a hardcore sweet tooth at night, and this more than took care of my cravin! In fact, I may even cut the sugar down a bit next time because it was a bit too sweet, I can't believe it myself! The chili powder on top gave great depth to the cinnamon that's added to it. I will make this again and again!

I loved this.
Try this, and you will see why Mexican or spanish hot chocolate is the thing to have.
My abuela made me this very recipe when I was a little girl.
Thanks, Michael. Now, I can finally make it myself.

The Mexican hot chocolate is simply awesome!! I have made it twice and I love it. IT is great to make when guests come over on a cold day. I will definilty make it again, BUT I strongly recommend that you cut the sugar down to 1/4 cup. I made it the way the recipe says the first time and about half way through drinking my hot chocolate all I could taste was sugar. I cut it down to 1/4 cup last time and it was perfect! I used to live in Mexico and this is the best hot chocolate I have ever had!
