I personally love hot chocolate made with chilli peppers. I even own a Bodum Chocolatiere in which to make it! Perfect for a cool fall day, and definitely the best way to drink chocolate.
Of course, I say this because this is how chocolate was originally consumed in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Spanish brought chocolate back from the New World, where it was consumed as a frothy, spicy, bitter concoction. Europeans found it too bitter and not to their liking. Good thing the development of the sugar trade happened at about the same time, because it was due to this that the sweet chocolate we know and love today was developed. But more on that in a future blog post...
In the meantime, you might like to have a peek at this...
