HotChocolate’s hot chocolate is a chocolate and sugar addict’s downfall — my favorite’s the caramelly medium hot chocolate — but at $6 a cup, it’s an expensive and unaffordable habit. So I’m pleased to have found a new chocolate love: Cafecito’s hot chocolate. It’s similar to Mexican hot chocolate, laced with cinnamon and almond flavors, […]
…because it’ll be Christmas before you know it.
