Chocolate - Christmas Chocolate Mocha recipe

The Aztec believed that chocolate was salutary and they used it as a medicinal drink. In sixteenth century Spain, chocolate was determined a health food. Chocolate is salutary for its antioxidants and brain stimulants. A 3 1/2 oz. Dark chocolate bar will provide iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, copper, and calcium. Plainly I did not have to tell you that. I have not found a man yet who did not love and crave chocolate all at the same time.

I have found a amazing chocolate mocha formula in a book published in 2007. The book is authored by Camilla V. Saulsbury and is titled, "Enlightened Chocolate". I have taken her guidance and prepared the chocolate mocha blend in a blender in batches so we all the time seems to have some around. I highly advise that you do the same and be generous this Christmas season. Pass a warm chocolate mocha mug to all of your friends and family.
