nice picture as well as the cup -
Marvelous, I made a single cup using dark cocoa and skim milk. The cinnamon is, of course, delicious and comforting. -
Nice comforting warm drink to have on a cold night here in Florida. I have never had a Mexican hot chocolate and this was very good. I didn't have the splenda granular but the packets, I made 1/2 the recipe which required me to use 2 1/2 packets. Thanks for sharing Mandy!! Made for Holiday tag. -
Yum! I scaled the recipe down to make 2 cups. Thanks for a yummy breakfast drink! -
Delicious! I love the flavour that the cinnamon gives this hot chocolate and the use of splenda rather than sugar makes it diet friendly. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
