Chocolate . . .

. . . porridge isn’t too bad.

Sure beats raisins.

70% kind? What form does it come in and how do you prepare it?

Atole (Champurrado?) is a gruel that is made with cornmeal, chocolate, sugar, cinnimon, and vanilla. Sounds like a great winter drink. I have been wanting to try making it, but keep forgetting to.

It does sound good. I’m fond of that Mexican Chocolate … the brand is Abuelita (‘little granny’)… and very good fixed per instructions on the box - basically : 4 cups hot milk, add the disk, stir till dissolved, drink. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The directions say to do the first two cups of hot milk with the disk in a blender, and then add the other two cups of milk. Blenders don’t usually hold the whole lot, and I dislike the cleanup.

I would think that adding a disk to a pot of porridge would be quite good.

I just stirred a couple spoonfuls of Ghirardelli instant hot chocolate into it, djm. I think you could use any kind.

Might want to stir it in after cooking. Wouldn’t want to waste any of it on the inside of the pot or create any off-flavors.

Atole was the morning drink in the Missions of early Calaforny.
