Make breakfast or dessert decadent with this delicious and easy Mexican Hot Chocolate Waffle recipe.

I remember the first time I tried chocolate with cinnamon and chili powder. I fell in love and never looked back. There was a large farm market not too far from a previous house we lived in. We loved to go there to stock up on spices and buy fresh produce because the prices were fantastic. Every time we went I would browse through their incredibly large ethnic section – Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican – you could find almost anything your heart desired.

One day I found Mexican Hot Chocolate bars. We fell in love with making our hot chocolate with it and never looked back. The blend of chocolate and cinnamon makes the best homemade hot cocoa ever. Eventually we moved away and I couldn’t find the chocolate anywhere, so I made my own homemade hot cocoa as close to possible. It never turns out quite as good as my memory recalls that hot chocolate being but it inspired this recipe for Mexican Hot Chocolate Waffles.

If you’re daunted at the thought of making your own waffles, don’t be. It really is as easy as making a pancake – just in a waffle iron. Waffle irons even flash a green light to tell you it’s done. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
