Cocoa & Co.

This week we went to Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven. This place makes you feel like you wandered into Willy Wonka's place! The store is in the middle of their factory, and there are big windows so you can see the magic happen! By the time we got there, it looks like there weren't making anything, but there were trays of chocolate everywhere! The store was all ready for Easter weekend more chocolate rabbits, eggs, and chicks than you can shake a stick at. There was a bar where you ordered your hot chocolate. They had several flavors to choose from, and then you chose classic or wicked (spicy). I almost got a large classic hot chocolate, but thank goodness I reevaluated and got the small. What I got was a small cup of melted chocolate. I swear, this was not a beverage, it was just melted down chocolate. It was very thick, and very hot, and very intense. Dear readers, I have failed you. I couldn't drink the whole thing! If I'd had some water too, maybe I could have done it, but as it was, I had to admit defeat. By halfway through the cup, I felt like my entire insides were coated with chocolate. This place is definitely not for the faint of heart. Maybe I'll try again another day.
