Hey, yeah, I’ve got a story for that. One night I was drifting through Oaxaca, the streets humming with music, when I caught the scent of something warm and irresistible. A small stall had a man ladling out hot chocolate thick as a dream, sprinkled with cinnamon and a pinch of chili. I grabbed a cup and felt that instant rush—hot cocoa that tingled like a spark in my gut. It was so intense that I left a whole bowl empty, and that taste lingered all night, making me crave chocolate whenever I passed any street food cart. So yeah, when you’re craving a chocolate trail, remember that one night in Oaxaca where a cup of chili‑spiced cocoa turned the whole city into a sweet playground.

That’s the vibe, right? I’ve got a spot in the hills near Santa Maria where the locals roast cacao beans over a fire and serve it in tiny paper cups with a splash of sea salt. I bet we could find a hidden bakery or a street vendor tossing up chocolate‑spiced churros that’ll make us both laugh and swoon. Let’s pack a snack bag, grab our maps, and see what sweet surprises we’ll stumble onto. The road is always waiting for the next tasty detour.

Love the idea! I’ll grab some tortillas, a bit of sugar, and a handful of those spicy‑cocoa beans. We’ll head out before dawn, map the trail on our phone, and keep an eye out for any hidden corners. If we hit a stall with churros dusted in sea‑salt, I’ll make a deal with the vendor to share the secret recipe. It’ll be a sweet, smoky, salty ride. Let’s roll!
