Mexican Hot Chocolate Oatmeal

            Last week, as I was freezing and getting bored of my boring oatmeal routine, I noticed a pack of instant hot cocoa mix on my shelf. “Why not make a breakfast dish that is hot cocoa and oatmeal?” I thought to myself, “Maybe it will keep me doubly warm.” Here is the brain child of that idea:

Servings: Makes 2

2 medium pears, finely chopped

1 tbsp cayenne pepper
