Well, in most Italian coffee bars you can find different kinds of hot chocolate (with cinnamon, coffee, bitter cocoa, caramel, nuts, etc.) but they are prepared using a powder mixture ready for use.
Personally, I prefer the real hot chocolate, made with pieces of chocolate, melted in hot milk and with a lot of whipped cream on it...
Yes, coffee with milk is very good too: every morning for breakfast I have a 'cappuccino'

I think that Cappuccino is one of the most famous drinks here in Venezuela, and most of the Italian restorants there are here, have that Cappuccino as a special drink.... With vanilla is awezome also!!

Hi, yelee
In our country we also have the hot chocolate, we call it chocolate chafing dish, served with fresh fruits and cakes.
It's new and very popular in Shanghai this winter :)

If you visit Barcelona one day, remember to try hot chocolate there!
There is a road where you can drink the best hot chocolate in the whole town: it's very thick, with a lot of whipped cream on the top and you can dip 'churros' (a kind of fried sweets) into it... :D

In certain countries they reckon that chocolate is a turn on. The theory is that you melt it down with yoghurt and honey and pour it over your partner and lick it off.
Sounds like a damn good recipe to me!!!

I like hot chocolate, my liver doesn't, it always does feel like a hole in the stomach after I have my king-size cup of it :(

Make some waffles (better if you make them!!)
Bou some Hershey`s Chocolate Syrup, buy also a "Dulce de Leche" from Haagen Dasz...
Here is the recomendation, try to take the waffle when it is still warm... Put some of this ice cream on the waffle and then the Hershey syrup...
I lov :D e this combination, hope you can do it!
