Hot Chocolate - South American Style Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Hot Chocolate - South American Style Recipe). This is a traditional South American chocolate drink, but to market it well I made it hot chocolate, even though in the old days, South Americans didn't drink it hot. The recipe uses chili powder, and I used red bell pepper to match the sweetness of the chocolate. This is a good way to bring an old recipe into today.
