Starbucks Hot Cocoa for Christmas

Recently I purchased Starbucks Hot Cocoa from the supermarket. I couldn't wait to try it.

Look at what it says on the side of the box about their vanilla brulee hot cocoa.

I make the Hot Cocoa  and the great thing, it is perfect with milk, Almond milk actually.

Here is the packet with the directions right on it, although I have to tell you, I made it backwards. I heated up the milk in the microwave and then added the Hot cocoa and stirred. It was still terrific.

I even added whipped cream and it was low fat.

Have You Ever Been to Munsons Chocolates

Recently I went chocolate hunting to buy some chocolates for myself and my Grandmother. She loves dark chocolate, and I wanted to find lots of flavor. I headed to somewhere close to where I work...
109 Boston Post Road in Orange, CT.

The place is a whole lot of chocolate yummy when I walked inside.

This is a place to come if you are definitely a chocoholic. All the chocolate here was made in Bolton, CT.

There were so many choices...

Here is the dark chocolate counter...

And here is the dark chocolate I purchased...

This was some of the best chocolate I ever had.
Don't worry if you can't it to Orange, CT here is their website with more locations and chocolate that van be purchased online.

Bellagio Chocolate Truffle Gourmet Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate was given to me as a gift. Bellagio Chocolate Truffle Gourmet Hot Chocolate is made by Caffe D'Amore, Inc.  

 Here is my Hot Chocolate in my mug.

The directions call for you to add 2 or 3 teaspoons to 8-oz of boiling water.  It does have a chocolaty flavor but for me it is the same as if I were drinking Swiss Miss. A better hot chocolate may just be made better being mixed with milk rather than water. I find drinking a cup of hot milk with vanilla a comforting drink on a hot winter's night.

That is all until next write. Try new things tpday.

I Scream You Scream We all Scream for Ice Cream!

I love going to the grocery store and choosing one of the exotic flavors of ice cream in the freezer. Yes, there are flavors that should definitely be passed up because they are bad combos.  I tried another Ben & Jerry ice cream - Maple Blondie. It is a limited batch flavor.

How yummy is it --- here is the ice cream with the cover off.

I love the taste of maple syrup on pancakes and French toast. That is why I love the maple flavor and the ice cream, and the added taste of those blondies. You could just lick those lips.

If not there is only one thing left to do...

Go to Dairy Queen and stand in line for a chocolate cone with chocolate sprinkles. Here is the Dairy Queen in Old Saybrook, CT, which is one popular place. Almost every time you drive past the place there is a line of people for ice cream.

Get out and get ice cream!

M&Ms Coconut and Jewelry Scrapbooking

Recently while on the M&Ms website I found out about a new M&M flavor - Coconut. I did not even notice until I purchased a single serving package that one package contains 210 calories.

Here are the M&Ms out of the bag.

The M&Ms taste like the Almond Joy candy bar because you also taste chocolate. The one difference between the M&Ms and the candy bar is that the M&Ms taste like itty bitty Almond Joys where you taste a little bit more chocolate and a lot less coconut then the candy bar.

I also took a trip recently to the scrap booking store in my area -- The Scrapebook Clubhouse in Westbrook, CT.

 II don't do scrap booking as much as you know that I make jewelry. There are some scrap book items made by Ranger which you can add to your jewelry which can make your jewelry that much more creative.

I can not wait to use them. I am trying to become more creative with my jewelry ideas, while still having a classic vintage look.

I also went to a charity event at my high school and I test road a Ford Fusion hybrid. I have never driven a car that is electrical.

Until next time; remember,  try new things and visit new places.
