1 Cut the chocolate into small pieces.

2 In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil and then add the chocolate.

3 After the chocolate is incorporated, add the cinnamon, vanilla, chili powder and salt.

4 Simmer for 10 minutes and then whisk briskly to a foam right before serving.

Cookie Time PBJ Cookies

Guys, this recipe comes from a Travian friend, who's dearly missed, haplo32:

1/4 cup of margarine
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
dash of salt

Mix all the wet ingredients until well blended and dry ingredients gradually .
Chill dough in fridge for about an hour. Shape dough in small balls and roll through finely cut peanuts.Gently make an indent with your thumb and bake for 10 to 12 mins and add your favorite filling once they done. I add the jam while they are hot seems to work better, for me i use Kraft strawberry jam .....mmmmmm yummmy .
