Warm, creamy and rich, Spanish Hot Chocolate surprises you with it's thick texture. A single sip and you're amazed at the confluence of flavors inside your mouth. Chocolate and cinnamon are old friends, but who would've thought a dash of pepper had any place in a mug of hot chocolate? Astonishingly, it does a marvelous job of bringing out the deep chocolatey goodness of the drink, while adding its own striking notes.

We've made this version vegan with Tempt Hemp Vanilla Hemp Milk to add another layer of flavors to this beautiful medley. Serve with a bowl of piping hot churros for the perfect fulfilling snack!
