Just got tipped off to your site. We’ll definitely have to try this. Did you read that Bill Buford piece on Dagoba chocolate in The New Yorker last year? Your recipe has me wanting to experiment…

thanks,
Anthony

I know that they make a lot of hot chocolate from bars, but when I was in Oaxaca at the market a lot of the little stalls offered freshly ground chocolate, their own mixes, that you could taste and buy Or if you wanted you could sit down and they would whip up a mean hot chocolate!
Now gathering the ingredients to make my own hot chocolate :-)

Tom – chocoholism? not me :)
Alejandra – glad you enjoyed the post!
Amara – it never even occurred to me until I saw the recipe, but it’s incredibly easy (except shelling the beans). Please let me know how yours goes.
Noskos – traditionally, Mexican hot chocolate is made from bars, rather than from powder. You can also eat the beans raw, though I think it must be an acquired taste :)
Stef – the more I experiment, the more I realize that almost everything good can be made at home!

Wow! I had no idea you could make chocolate at home like this. That’s so neat!

That is such a good idea! I still have a bag of cocoa beans here that I brought from a trip in Mexico, I got it to show my niece and nephew where chocolate comes from. Never thought about making my own chocolate from it :-)

I think I’ll go for hot chocolate instead though :-)
