Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot

Artisan Confections Hot Chocolate

Blizzards?  Seasonal Affective Disorder? Ice storms? Bring it on, J-Frost.

You’re insulated against the worst — from the inside out. You’re packing Artisan Confections new hot chocolate mix.

No dusty powder here. The bittersweet cocoa is made with flaked chocolate chunks. You add hot milk (water’s not good enough) and whisk until smooth. Any flakes that haven’t melted sink to the bottom of your mug, making for a chocolicious, Nutty Buddy-like last sip.

The mix is a combination of super-premium Valrhona chocolate, cocoa powder made in France’s Rhone Valley, and fresh organic Tahitian vanilla beans.

Winter’s going to have to nip at someone else’s nose.

We’re warm and cozy in the District.
