Mexican Hot Cocoa.

I can't remember the recipe word for word, but you get that baking chocolate in the Spanish import food section in the grocery store (I think it's Aurela or something? It has a friendly old woman on the front?)

Melt it on the stove (carefully, chocolate burns easily) with sugar, milk, lots of cinnamon, and cornmeal.

Yes, cornmeal.

It makes a very thick, cinnamony hot chocolate.

And for those that can't get over the cornmeal, have you ever eaten a churro?

You know, those chewy cinnamon sticks at concession stands, sometimes filled with Bavarian cream?

It's the same stuff. Imagine drinking a churro.

Dark, of course...


And, the old standby...





Oh, cursed crack.... Why do you torment me so?

Here in Berkeley there's a Sharfenberger (sp?) factory, and even in the outlet store it's so expensive that you might as well buy a gram of coke instead.

damn good stuff, though. Mostly dark chocolate.

I used to buy their little pieces, when I lived in the D.C. area, from this pricey grocer.

They're wonderful....

ThreadBare said:

Yes, really good chocolate! And like $2.00 for something half the size of a Kit Kat.

The factory has a cafe, which is good, too. And they give tours.

I was just going to mention Scharfenberger's factory tours. I believe they are still free. And - excellent chocolate!

That means a lot coming from you, Mr. Wonka.

ThreadBare said:

Ghiradelli makes a pretty good dark choc. espresso one It's really rich though. I only like dark chocolate if it's paired with something else, like mint or coconut.

PurpleThunder said:

I like Dove's organic chocolate. Have you tried it? It's fairly new.

I just wanna bathe in a tub of melted chocolate

Whoever gets married needs to get one of these

right now im diggin the payday- avalanche



or the standard chocolate chip frappuccino with a shot of mint

I've mentioned this before but my father's a freak - if he buys chocolate, it goes in the fridge, and he eats like a chunk or so every so often. It can take him about 8 months to finish it.

Sod that - it goes down in one with me.

Cherry Ripe....

Natisse said:

Got one of those in the fridge.

It's Kath's though, not mine. Otherwise you could have it!

onenitealone said:

swap you for Krispy Kreme's? and by that I mean a shopful of them for one Cherry Ripe

yes THAT'S how good they are

OH. GOD. CHOCOLATE IS ORGASMIC!!! IT HAS ORGASMIC POWERERERZ I TELL YOU!!!




I just had a chocolate eclair...the pastry is juuust the right consistency...the chocolate icing is fresh, as is the sweet, freshly whipped cream too good!!

When i'm at work, on a Friday,because i'm there for 10 hourz, in my last break i love to go to a chocolate cafe called Max Brenner! I either got the dark chocolate frappe or a hot chocolate souffle with a soft, tender hot chocolate centre which oozes out as you fork through it...served with strawberriez...divine.

When i'm home- i love me some Arnott's Chocolate Teddy Bear Biscuits...i bite the ends off...dunk it in my coffee and suck. Then quickly eat the melting biscuit before it decapitates into the cup!!

Also i have a fetish for this alpine milk chocolate from this supermarket discount chain called ALDI's!! OH dear lawd...so creamy...so sinfully addictive.


Can you tell i love chocolate?

Natisse said:

I would if I could. And you know I love my Krispy Kremes.

There was a mini-fight in the Lewis household once when their dad 'accidentally' ate a Cherry Ripe, mistaking it for a muesli bar. Claire went mental as Katherine had sent it all the way from Australia and had been keeping it in the fridge specially. So they must be good.

I'm the same with Heroin.

Just one more.
