   OMG Summer!!! Chocolate Abuelita is like chocolate-crack-in-a-mug lol! I LOVE it! Spike it with a little Kahlua and the drunk in me is in chocolate-alcohol heaven! And like Aggie said, any Food City, Ranch Market, Fry’s Mercado, Frys, and Wal-Mart has it in their “hispanic foods” section…

    I dunk toatsed bolillos in my chocolate..mmmm so so good (the ones they sell at ranch market are the closest u gonna get to a REAL Mexican bolillo but it’s still not the same.)

11. miss.summer said on March 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm:

    wait wait wait!!! what is a bolillo?? man i’m outta the loop for sure. Is that like a marshmallow?

12. La Perra said on March 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm:

    haha no its just bread, like french bread but Mexican lol closest taste i’d say is ciabatta, or at ranch market they sell “bolillos” they sell em single so u can buy as many or lil as u want

13. Lola said on March 2nd, 2010 at 3:21 pm:

    Lol you’re welcome Summer! And the bolillos lighty toasted with butter dunked like how La Perra said beyond bomb! You can broil it or do it old school by putting it on a comal (the flat skillet used to make flour tortillas).. mmm

14. Lola said on March 2nd, 2010 at 3:53 pm:

    Lechera is super condensed sweeten milk. Its soooooo good you can eat it alone or with toast on cereal, or a trres leches cake! Man pastel de 3 leches is the devil its so good!

    I’ve been swearing by this shit for years! When I was little my mom would get pissed cause I’d snatch it from the cupboards and it the chocolate straight out the wrapper…uhhh yea, I’m a weirdo!

    I’ve been telling my east coast friends about it lately! Best hot cocoa around!

    High five for the post

17. Aggie said on March 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 pm:

    Hey La perra you hook it up right girl, thats how we do it the toasted bolillo w/ butter on the “comal” mexican griddle and dipped in the chocolate is heaven especially w/ this weather.

18. Gina Guerrero said on March 2nd, 2010 at 11:07 pm:

    Oh this is the best hot chocolate ever. My mom would make it for me and we’d eat pan in the winter time. Especially when putting up the Christmas tree. It’s always in the cabinet

    Man, I haven’t made this in a couple of years! After I read this post I wanted some. So, while I was @ Fry’s Mercado yesterday I picked some up, it’s funny bc my kids got all happy too. My daughter Hailee pointed out to me that they now sell it in liquid form, you know how you add choc. syrup to your milk- like that. I was like danggg lol.

20. miss.summer said on March 5th, 2010 at 12:50 am:

    I want to try all forms of it, I think the syrup would be amazing on top of ice cream
