If pure dark chocolatey comfort is what you’re looking for…
Europeans are the experts in the richest, tastiest chocolates around. So if the ultimate comfort is your only wish this holiday season, you’ve got to check out French hot chocolate!

The espresso may be optional, but it is the key ingredient to an authentic, creamy cup of French hot cocoa. More traditional American hot chocolate may be sweeter than the way the French do it, but I promise you it is more than worth it.
