Christmas Gifts 2013 – Hot Chocolate Sticks

December 14, 2013 by GG 13 Comments

Chocolate Stirring Sticks

Chocolate Stirring Sticks

One year I took the Glam Tinies skiing, it was the first time for us all; I wanted the holiday to be perfect.  The hotel was close to the lifts and the restaurant served a wonderful selection of Italian food.  The bar of the hotel was packed by late afternoon with gently steaming customers, half dressed for a day on the slopes and half dressed for an evening with friends.  At the back of the bar was a glass bowl with constantly churning thick, dark chocolate.  This was unlike any hot chocolate I’d had before, almost solid, rich and creamy.  These Hot Chocolate Sticks are the closest to the intense flavour of that special, warming, welcome drink

    What a fantastic idea! It’s too hot for hot chocolate right now but I’m going to remember this come winter!

      When you make them yourself you can choose the quality of the chocolate and produce a lovely gift. GG

    These look so lovely. I have seen some of these in some of the finer chocolate shops, but I’ve never actually tried one myself. These would make great little gifts.
