From what I just read Atole is a corn mesa base. There are varying types of Atole. Champurrado being one of them. A Champurrado is an Atole with chocolate. Is this correct?

I just wanted to comment that the atole recipe is missing "chocolate abuelita" a type of Mexican hot chocolate that is sold in round bars of chocolate that you can incorporate to the simmer stage and stir until it melts... this gives it a rich chocolate taste that the kids were missing. Try it this way and you will see the difference. I live in New Orleans now and don't find it in too often here at the grocery stores, but the "Mexican Food Isle" at Wal-Mart usually has it. There are other varieties that can be used Colombian Chocolate Corona, or less known Mexican Chocolate Don Gustavo, that will give the atole an authentic taste. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&source=hp&q=Chocolate%20Abuelita&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf I was looking this up today because it is 3-Kings-Day and my mother used to celebrate it with the “rosca” when we were kids, but I couldn’t remember what the significance of finding the baby Jesus was.
