This tastes great, but it doesn't mix together too well if you follow the directions. I found it is a lot easier to mix the dry ingredients in a mug, then add the chocolate syrup to the milk (I do a half cup each milk and water, by the way), and I heat it in the microwave while the water boils on the stove. I stir the warmed chocolate milk into the dry ingredients and stir to combine, then add the boiling water and give it a good stir until everything dissolves.

This was amazing! But do not, use the instant mix! I used 2TB unseetened cocoa powder instead, and with the chocolate syrup, it was still plenty sweet and had such a rich deep chocolate flavor. In fact, what I'm going to do next is omit the chocolate syrup altogether( to omit the high fructose corn syrup), use two to three tablespoons of cocoa powder, and a ts of sugar to sweeten. And when it says a PINCH of chilli, it really is NOT kidding, lol.

This was quite tasty, something nice and different to try. I had mixed all my other ingredients together when I went to the fridge for milk, and realized that I didn't have any! So I used some left over evaporated milk I had in the fridge instead! I'm not sure how much this changed it, but it sure tasted fine! I did do as others suggested and used 1/2 milk to 1/2 water. The only complaint I had was that it was so rich, I couldn't drink it all on my own!

This was excellent! A note for reviewer Framuesa: Putting just a few drops of hot water into the dry mix allows you to mix the powder into a paste before you add the rest of the liquid so that there are no "floaties".

This is a wonderful recipe! Easy and quick to make. Note: If using hot chocolate mix that does not contain powdered milk, it is recommended to increase the proportion of milk to water used in this recipe. [Switch milk and water amounts.] Also if it is not spicy enough for you possibly add some cayenne.

I used unsweetened cocoa instead of instant powder, and it was so rich and chocolaty! Delicious!

I just made this because I've had it on my list for a while, and finally decided to try it. It was GREAT! My husband loved it as well. I'm thinking that I may increase the milk content and decrease the water (or just use a cup of milk and skip the water entirely.) I would definitely add the dry ingredients then the water/milk, then the chocolate syrup; it seemed a bit lumpy once I got to the end...but definitely worth making again!

The chocolate syrup adds that extra richness that is sometimes missing in powdered instant chocolate mixes. Yummy!

This was easy and great...I had to make 3 batches since the kids couldn't get enough...I also added a bit of ovaltine for some nutrition and a slightly malty flavor.

This is was very good! I added just a tad of vanilla. I don't like milk, so I used soy milk, it worked great. I think the soy milk really brought out the flavor in this drink!

Oh My Goodness!!!! This is the best thing ever. I have always loved mexican hot chocolate but I have never made it until now! I did use all milk and it is sooo creamy. Also, there was a group of adults and we put peppermint schnapps in it and YUMMMMY! I was a huge hit, both with adults and kids!

I never had cinnamon and chili powder in my hot chocolate. I really enjoyed this. I wouldn't call it spicy but it has a nice flavor and I think it enhances the chocolate.

This turned out much better than I thought it would. Because I had some time this morning, I mixed everything except the milk and water together in a saucepan, turned on the heat, and then gradually whisked in a cup of milk (no water. I was only using skim milk anyway). This avoided any clumping, and made it nice and frothy. Thanks, Sheldyn!

I always wondered what the chili powder would do for the hot chocolate, it adds a great kick. It may seem odd at first, but it tastes more like cinnamon when mixed in.
