You can probably draw the line between hot cocoa and hot chocolate in  
the same place you draw it between cocoa and chocolate: if it's pure  
chocolate liquor in solid form (without or without sugar added), and  
you use it to make a hot drink, it's hot chocolate, and if it's  
cocoa, the defatted solids of the cocoa bean, and you use it to make  
a hot drink, you've got hot cocoa.

Da*n. Craving a hot mochaccino...
