Sweet Sanguinaccio with Glazed Chiacchiere

Sweet Sanguinaccio with Glazed Chiacchiere, a traditional recipe also for Bimby.

In the past, sanguinaccio was made quite differently, methods now prohibited.
This recipe resembles the old one only in color and texture.
It is a simple and delicious cream based on dark chocolate, cocoa, and cinnamon, prepared in many regions of Italy during Carnival.
Today I present it in a single-serve version with a chocolate-glazed chiacchiera on top ready to be dipped.
