Notes

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE SUBSTITUTE: 3 ounces semisweet chocolate + 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon + 3 drops almond extract = 1 tablet of Mexican chocolate.
HOW DO YOU THICKEN FROSTING? If the frosting is too runny after you add the milk, add more powdered sugar. Little by little until it thickens up.
PRO TIP: No milk? No problemo. You can substitute with half and half, heavy whipping cream, or evaporated milk.
Options: You can also add a splash of vanilla. Or try adding ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
