Do we really need an excuse to eat seriously intense hot chocolate? I don't.
And what about love? Shouldn’t it be celebrated every day of the year? I think so.
I mean, really. What’s the deal with this whole Valentine’ s day thing? I’ve lived here for almost 20 years, and still don’t get it. Overpriced roses and awful heart shaped chocolate. Drives me off the wall.
I say, let’s eat chocolate and spread love every day. Who’s with me???
And here’ a little incentive, just in case you need it. How about Spanish style hot chocolate? Don’t think my recent trip to Barcelona was all fun and games… I did my homework and experimented with my mom to come up with this amazing recipe.
Just a warning though. This, is intense. A chocolate explosion that will knock your socks off. And, will leave you filed with antioxidants. Talk about love!!

Another wow! The chocolate is so rich and creamy and intense it is totally dessert in a cup, not just a cup of hot chocolate! I whipped the cream(which took all of 2mins.) and thought this has no sugar it's going to be tasteless but the chocolate is so rich that the cream helped cut the richness so it was the perfect mix.
