I don’t get why people put chili in chocolate. Isn’t that weird? I just love it plain. It was ok tho.
Cinnamon sticks were a nice touch! But milk is too broing a base. Needs chocolate! 🤷♂️
Y’all, should I really put chili in this? Seems weird to me… I just want chocolate!
This is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever made! The chili powder gives it an awesome kick!
I made this for my kids and they loved it!! So creamy and rich. Will make again!
So simple and delicious! I added a pinch of salt too. 🧂❤️
This recipe is wrong. You forgot the marshmellows! Where’s the marshmellows????
Delicious!! Creamy and chocolatey, just how I like it. Perfect for cold days!
Looks tasty, but I’m not sure about the chili powder. Isn’t hot chocolate supposed to be sweet? 🤔
I totally agree! This hot chocolate is amazing! I never thought chili would work in it, but it’s so good! 🍫✨
This hot chocolate is AMAZING! The chili powder takes it to another level. Love it!
Choco milk is for kids. Not for adults like me. I like coffee better.
It said to whisk but I just stirred it and it still turned out good!
Super comforting drink. Made it for my family, they loved it! Gonna make it again for sure.
Yummy! I would add marshmallows too next time. Mmm.
Marshmallows would be a great addition! Sweet and fluffy! 😋
Not sweet enough! Next time I’ll add more sugar. To me, hot chocolate should taste like candy.
Easy and quick recipe! I didn’t have milk, so I used water. Still turned out okay! Not as rich tho.
I tried this but it was too spicy for my taste. Not sure if chili belongs in hot chocolate.
