Mexican chocolate is unlike regular chocolate. It has cinnamon, nuts, and other ingredients which give it its unique flavor.
You can usually find it in most grocery stores. If not, you can always buy Mexican chocolate online.
How to Make It
- Place all the chocolate in the pot.
You can buy the heart-shaped pot online.
Chopping up the chocolate into pieces is completely optional. The chocolate melts quickly.
How to Substitute Mexican Chocolate:
Equal amounts of semisweet chocolate + ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon + a drop of almond extract.

- Pour the heavy cream into the pot.
This is heavy whipping cream. You can also use whole milk.
Great Idea: Do this in the slow cooker and serve at a party.

What kind of chocolate do you use for a chocolate fountain?
Mexican chocolate is not ideal for chocolate fountains. It will not thin out completely as regular chocolate.
The chocolate used in fountains needs to be runnier in order for it to flow.
If you would like to put it in a fountain, instead use the Mexican chocolate substitute recipe that is mentioned above.
