We don’t get snow often here in Oxford, but for the last few days we have been pleasantly surprised with some lovely snowfalls. I realise not everyone loves snow - especially anyone having to drive on treacherous roads - but I am not one of those people. I adore snow. Watching it fall, while being cozy inside, is especially lovely. A good book, a comfy blanket and some hot chocolate = heaven.

Hmmm…hot chocolate. If you enjoy hot chocolate, then Chuao Chocolatier’s^® Abuela Hot Chocolate is for you.  I have never had such delicious hot chocolate. Never. It is creamy, silky and rich. It is pure chocolate heaven. It calls for only half a cup of boiling water and 3 scoops (they provide a scoop) per cup. Now you may be thinking “half a cup? that’s not enough!”, but trust me, half a cup is all you need. It is rich enough (they don’t hold back on giving you a full chocolate experience) for you to slowly savour and you won’t want more than the half cup - well, not immediately anyway.

The 12oz/340g tin is not cheap however. At $15.00 you may hesitate, but everyone deserves an indulgence every now and then and if you are a hot chocolate lover, you won’t be disappointed with this one. It’s a special treat and you’ll be surprised at how many delicious cups of hot chocolate you can enjoy from one tin.

Chuao Chocolatier^® have a number of other chocolate products, and although I haven’t tested any of their other offerings, if the Abuela Hot Chocolate is anything to go by, these people know their chocolate and I am eager to try their other products. For now, I’ll make another cup and savour every rich, sweet sip. Mmmmm.
