Does anyone know a recipie for a good chocolate mexican dessert and drink?
I need a recipie for an a chocolate mexican dessert. It will be helpful if its something that can be prepaired ahead of time. I've read some responses on yahoo answers about churros and some say its mexican and some say spanish. My question on making them is can they be made the night before and still taste good served the next night. The only stores for shopping are price chopper and walmart.
Also thoughts on a great drink would be nice or even a wine?
