It appears that you should substitute that cup of coffee every morning with a nice cup of hot chocolate.

A study from the University of Birmingham in England found that drinking hot chocolate can actually make you smarter!

Researchers attribute this to molecules in cocoa called flavanols, which make your brain work faster and more efficiently.

However, the hot chocolate won't really work if your brain is already functioning really well, the flavanols won't help you out. But a hot chocolate a day still sounds pretty amazing!
