Dia de los Muertos is an occasion to honor the useless and have fun existence. What higher way to do that than to toast with a heat chocolate beverage. This Mexican warm chocolate is much like champurrado, but it isn't always flavored with anise or sweetened with piloncillo, making this recipe a chunk less difficult, and tastes just as delicoso.
