Directions:

1. Bake the Pandebonos:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place frozen pandebonos on a baking sheet and bake for 22 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
2. Make the Hot Chocolate:
   In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add pieces of the chocolate bar and stir continuously until melted. Add sugar and cinnamon if desired.
3. Prepare the Fruit:
   Peel and slice the banana, mango, and papaya (or pineapple). Arrange on a shared platter or individual bowls.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   Serve the warm pandebonos with a cup of thick Colombian hot chocolate and the fresh fruit on the side. Dip the pandebono in the chocolate—just like we do back home.
