I don’t know how substantial this snack is supposed to be, but since it’s close to Christmas, one thing that I promise is authentic for Mexican Christmas celebrations is the tamale. If you’ve never had one, they consist of masa (corn dough) wrapped around a filling (usually ancho chile-spiced pork, although I’ve had them with chicken and even a sweet one with pineapple and raisin), which is then wrapped in a corn husk and steamed. Since our family no longer makes our own, we’ve started purchasing them. We’ve got a couple of tamalerias in Detroit where we buy ours, but a decent Mexican restaurant might have them on the menu as well.

When I lived in Texas, I went to MANY a tamale assembly, and MANY a tamale party as well.

How about a brownie mix with a little cinnamon thrown in, and a mocha/ choco/ cinnamon frosting? It’d be like something I ate for dessert in a a very authentic Mexican restaurant, not ChiChi’s or Cipotle. You could even just get a tub of light chocolate frosting and then sprinkle in a little cinnamon, and a little instant coffee.

Great idea. Or how about getting some hot chocolate mix and adding a bit of cinnamon. Remember hot chocolate was a common drink like coffee, no sugar, no milk, but since this is Regnum Chrisit honoring the founder sort of (La Posada is really a neat thing!) you don’t have to worry about the no milk. no sugar. Just get store brand hot cocoa mix and insulated cups and bring your cinnamon to sprinkle on top!

I probably missed you on this but for next time you could do this.
