CHOCOLATE CINNAMON NACHOS: National Nachos Day

Today is National Nachos Day. Nachos are usually comprised of tortilla chips covered with melted cheese and jalapeno peppers and served as a snack. Nachos originally hail from Northern Mexico, but are considered a Tex-Mex dish. Sometimes Nachos are served with salsa or guacamole. Not these, of course.

Since this is a Chocolate Blog, let's make Chocolate Cinnamon Nachos! This recipe is very slightly adapted from Taste of Home. So easy, too. Be still my heart. You'll love this! Be sure and bookmark this recipe for Cinco de Mayo, too!
