I've had so much fun with the mini-donut pan serendipitously acquired during the winter holidays. This South of the Border recipe inspired by the rich, spicy flavors of the ancient Mayan culture is sure to please breakfast pastry fans who love a little punch of heat. Plus, since they're baked, you can almost feel healthy about eating a few!

MAYAN HOT CHOCOLATE

Don't knock it till you've tried it. This rich, delicious, and kicky hot chocolate might make you abandon your traditional ties. No marshmallows needed; this is for grown-ups. Everything in this recipe can be altered to suit your taste, however I recommend following the recipe to the letter the first time you try.
