Tips/Techniques

I used Abuelita Mexican chocolate. It is made by Nestle and can be found in the international aisle of some grocery stores. Another brand you may be able to find is Ibarra.

Instant espresso powder can often be found near the coffee in some grocery stores. If you can't find it, just grind your own coffee bean very fine.
