Hot Drinking Chocolate

All hot drinking chocolate is not alike! Most coffeeshops are serving hot chocolate made by machine from cocoa powder. If it doesn't give you a feeling of being too diluted, it leaves an after taste of the powder. Some shops actually use chocolate syrups. Most people will probably think hot chocolate is just for kids. How wrong they are. Hot chocolate is getting really popular in the USA and special cafes are dedicated to this drink from the heavens.
The best hot chocolate is made from real chocolate! Making it is an art! Imaging sipping a cup of steaming hot chocolate on a cold snowy day like today, maybe you choose it from one of 12 different flavors and with your choice of the real creamy one or the healthy skinny versions. You can choose to top it up with real whipping cream and chocolate shavings. You could try 1 flavor every day for 2 whole weeks and never tire of it, because each day would be different! Each cup of hot drinking chocolate would come with its own chocolate on the side and a cookie as well. To top up the exquisitely heavenly experience you should have the opportunity, on the thirteenth day, to sip on a Truffle a Trois, a true one of a kind specialty especially when served in crystal martini glasses! Just don't rush the experience, but savor the moment every second of it. Because it brings you just a little closer to experiencing true joy. The Maya's used to call it the gift from the Gods.
There is such a place, right here in Calgary. Maybe it doesn't fit in your lenten plan, or maybe you don't have the time to truely enjoy this experience right now. It would be a shame to miss it.
Just ask me where it is to be found and mark you calendar!
