Hot Chocolate???

Is it hot chocolate? Is it hot cocoa, or just cocoa? What’s the difference, anyway? When the Spanish added sugar instead of chili to the bitter hot drink they brought back from the New World, it created a sensation in the courts of Europe. Chocolate drinks were believed to have medicinal value in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it turns out, they just might actually be good for you after all! Who knew?
