Adapted Ecuadorian Hot Chocolate
Per serving
While studying in Ecuador, my host mom taught me to make hot chocolate their way. It's a very rich, filling dessert perfect for cold nights! I used the ingredients on hand; you can certainly substitute cocoa powder for the bittersweet or vice versa. Traditionally enjoyed with bread. Cinnamon is not traditional, but I like it. Let me know if you find any improvements!

If you let it on the stove too long, it will turn into pudding. Not that it won't still be delicious!
