I'm a sucker for hot chocolate, I won't lie to anyone about that. But when I saw this new hot chocolate medium... I was astonished. Simple concept: put Belgian chocolate on a stick and melt it into a cup of hot milk. Not hot water, hot milk. Also, while stirring the choco-stick you can sneak a bite or two of the melty chocolate bits straight off the spoon/stick. I first saw a stack of flavors in my favorite chocolate shop near my office metro stop.
I soon found a tourist locale where one can purchase both the stick AND the hot milk at the same time. I ventured with the Honey & Seasalt which was probably unnecessary, I should have gone with a simpler flavor. There wasn't enough salt to cut the sweetness the honey added to the whole business. Never the less, it was thick, creamy and a great warming treat on a cool day. I noticed that there were also liquor based concoctions that I may try on another occasion. As the chocolate melts it allows the liquor to flow freely into the brew. This said, I think we need more innovation in warm chocolate beverage delivery. Thoughts?

ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I do a similar version, only with roasted poblano, ancho pepper and cayenne notes... I'm catching up on the last month or so. I home in Colorado - back to reality, so to speak. Hope you are well! More waffles!!
