Cinna Nut Hot Chocolate Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the cinnamon sticks and Mexican chocolate. Simmer until fragrant and the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes; remove the cinnamon sticks. Serve in mugs topped with mini marshmallows.

Steps:

• Pour milk and cocoa into a sauce pot and bring to a simmer and add sugar. Reduce heat to very low and add chocolate stirring occasionally until melted about 3 to 5 minutes. Strain hot chocolate through a chinois and finish with vanilla. Hot chocolate can be topped off with homemade marshmallows or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter and flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set the mixer to medium speed and mix just until combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients; almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, sugar, ancho chili powder.
• Add the egg and mix just until combined, about 30 seconds.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and pat into a disk. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough about 1/4-inch thick. Use a knife to cut a square about the size of the mold. Press the dough into the mold. Be sure to press firmly so the impressions of the mold are transferred onto the dough. Remove the dough and place on a parchment paper lined sheet pan.
• If you do not want to make a mold, you can also use cookie cutters. To do so, roll the dough to the desired size on a lightly floured work surface. Press the cookie cutters into the dough. Lift the cutter and place the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate, stirring constantly, until melted. When the chocolate has melted, increase heat to medium and add the remainder of the milk while whisking rapidly. Do not allow to boil. Add 1 ounce peppermint schnapps to each (of 6) mugs. Pour the hot chocolate mixture into the mugs and top with whipped cream (if desired). Add mini candy canes (or peppermint sticks) to each mug before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Whisk chocolate topping, peanut butter, cinnamon and milk, in a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, until the chocolate milk begins to steam and mixture is well blended.
• Remove from heat. Ladle the hot chocolate into serving cups. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream. Serve immediately.
