You can buy mexican hot chocolate, popular in the mexican/spanish culture. Nestle is the most popular kind. You find it with all the other hot chocolate. I know you can get it at walmart, or at least the ones around here have it. It comes in a yellow, hexigon shaped box. You make it just like you would regular hot chocolate, except I think it comes in disks.
