   One word describes this chocolate: delicioso. When you take a sip, you will get a all these flavors that really work together. You have the silkiness of the chocolate, and immediately you get the undercurrent of the cinnamon, and the bite from the cayenne pepper. And just when you think that it's...it's not. You then get the cold creaminess of the whipped cream, followed in the same sip with the heat from the sprinkled cayenne pepper. Yum! I just love a big cup of this chocolate caliente, especially when the weather gets cold.
