Hot chocolate is good for hobbits.

Proper hot chocolate: good cocoa powder, sugar, and (all optional, mix as you like) vanilla extract, orange extract, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, in good hot milk.

Do you ever try a pinch of chili powder (a la Chocolat)?

No, and it sounds like a fine idea. A much-missed ice cream shop did a spiced chocolate ice cream, with I think a bit of chili powder along with cinnamon and ginger(? roadnotes, volund,cattitude, does any of you remember what was in the Mexicho?), and it was very nice indeed.

It sounds wonderful. Alas, I very rarely make hot chocolate at home, and most condiment counters at the local convenience stores don't include chili powder.

Hmmm. This sounds like a good project for the winter months; I must rectify that rareness.
