Orange Spiced Mexican Chocolate

"I made this up on a cold evening when I felt like making something different from my usual Mexican chocolate. The orange adds a subtle flavor and fragrance. For the adults, you can add some Cointreau instead of the Recipe #118600 that I use, or you can skip it altogether."

  1. I really enjoyed this tasty hot chocolate mami. You had me at orange and cinnamon. Thank you for sharing this spectacular treat. Rich, thick, sinful and delicious. Made for Down Home Cooking tag game.
     
  2. OK, I changed most of the ingredients so it could fit our diet but yummy for DD (toddler) and I! I'm sure ours wasn't as sweet but that is nice. For the milk I used recipe#174601, I enjoyed the subtle orange flavour, I used carob chips for all the chocolate. Delicious I may make again. I did just heat and not boil the almond milk just in case separation occurs (I'm not sure if that would happen or not). Made for What Kids Eat Tag Game in KK's forum.
     
  3. OMG! This is so good, taste just like the chocolate oranges you buy at the candy counter of my local supermarket. I added a teaspoon of Grand Marnier to the cup before filling it then topped off with whipped cream and more of the orange zest. This is bound to be repeated again and again. TFS, made for the Beverage Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I began cooking as a kid with my mom. I cook mostly Mexican food, but my best recipes are the ones that I improvise at the last minute! Especially desserts, which I love to cook, but always forget to write down. I'm a stay at home mom of three kids- 2 boys (3 & 5years old) and a 1 year old baby girl. My husband and I have been married for nearly 8 years. I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have made my recipes and even took the time to review and/or photograph them. I appreciate every one of them! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/banner2009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=90%> <img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/vseward/Bevy/officialmemberofthebevtaggame.jpg"> <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=278234"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/ruemke/banners/beans-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/IRecommendGame_AssortedChoc-part-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/Elves-appreciationSTICKER.jpg">
