Some Like it Hot

Another product that will be for sale at the Bakers Market is our hot chocolate.  We have dark chocolate available in an aromatic blend, which has a kick to it from the spices we add, as well as the classic blend.  We'll have milk chocolate in both blends available in subsequent weeks.  Let me just say, this isn't the same hot chocolate you know.

 This is a European style hot chocolate which is made from REAL chocolate resulting in a rich, luscious, and satisfying cup of comfort. BTW I'm on team Dark Chocolate.  For those of you who love milk chocolate I dare you to join me on the dark side...  The Aromatic Dark side. MUAHAHAHAHA! 



The blend of spices in the drink doesn't result in a spicy hot chocolate like some other mixes that have shown up on the radar.  That isn't to say it doesn't have any kick to it though.  I would describe the flavors as having a subtle warmth, increasing the warming effect of hot chocolate.  Like in 'Chocolat', one of my favorite movies of all time(because of the chocolate and not because of Johnny Depp who always looks like he is in need of a shower in my opinion), when Armande takes that first sip of Hot Chocolate that instantly puts a smile on her sour puss face.

This hot chocolate also goes great with homemade marshamallows.  If you've never had a homemade marshmallow you have to try one.  They are far superior to the store bought kind.  Homemade marshmallows are soft and cloud-like, they can be flavored too.  I found out this summer that homemade are better suited for campfires.  Let me explain.  Have you ever cooked a round store bought marshmallow over an open fire?  Then it starts to sag because it melts on the inside before you can brown the outside.  Well, with these square marshmallows you don't have that problem because there's no need to constantly rotate it.  You cook one side after the other so you get even browning without having to battle the sagging.  They are especially great for s'mores because of their square shape.  I would be happy to make a special order of marshallows for those who are interested.  

To stop your drooling you can come try and/or buy this hot chocolate mix at the Bakers Market where there will of course be FREE samples.  See you at the market tommorrow!
