I LOVE cinnamon almost as much as choc- have not tried them all but was thrilled to find Cinnabon made some new chocs using their own Makara cinnamon they grow exclusively- the description is:" Rich Makara Cinnamon mousse topped with crunchy glazed pecans and toffee bits, drenched in dark choc goodness!" Quite possibly the best flavor combo ive ever had- also comes in a milk choc with cinnamon caramel- found them at Walgreens. Ended up buying 6 boxes!

I've heard quite a bit about Elaine Gonzalez's trips to Mexico but have never made it a priority to go on one. I'd love to learn more, especially if you have photos or video. I agree with you, cinnamon is a great flavor in chocolate. Have you ever experimented with different kinds? Saigon cinnamon tastes very different from cassia cinnamon for example.
