I went back home to NYC a few years ago to visit my family & I visited a little cafe called Marie Belle on Broome Street in Manhattan. I had NO IDEA what this place was about, but my experience was quite a PLEASANT one! I met one of the managers & they served my best friend and I Aztec hot chocolate in a small espresso cup. I looooove chocolate (especially dark) but when I saw this hot chocolate in that tiny espresso cup, I realized it was VERY thick!!
I had NEVER seen hot chocolate that thick & smooth looking in my life! I was anxious and curious to taste it....so I sipped it and it was AMAZING! I got instant chocolate EUPHORIA (which I get from really great chocolate) I felt so relaxed...
Do you know that feeling?? A Chocolate high some people like to call it...ever felt that??!?
Well, ever since I arrived back home from the NYC, I regretted not buying a container of Marie Belle's Aztec Hot Chocolate. I had been contemplating buying it online but never did....finally I walked into William Sonoma yesterday & to my surprise, there it was sitting on the shelf with my name on it. (Not really) So, I went for it even though it's $25 for a 20 oz container, the taste is worth it.
As for making it, I make mine European Style...its thick and you can even top it off with a bit of whipped cream!

It is a great place to visit when in NYC. I tried the ice cream a few weeks ago and loved it.

ReplyDeletei can never find hot chocolate i like, my favorite stuff i ever had was when i was in south america at the hotels we drank it everymorning because it was incredibly tasty not just full of sugar.
Sold! I have been craving hot chocolate and this will definitely do the trick! :)
ReplyDeletethis too is one of my faves! I have to ration my container that I get from my parents each Christmas...it usually lasts the whole year...though I do supplement with some not-as-good cocoa some nights...
