Hot Chocolate with Elegant Style

If you've been disappointed with the bland, chalky flavor of regular brands of cocoa, we have something that we think will re-instill your faith in the hot beverage. MarieBelle's authentic chocolate is one of the best we've seen in years, and we're happy to be featuring it for November.

MarieBelle makes its hot chocolate from the richest single origin Columbian cacao - pure chocolate, not alkalized cocoa as is found in mass produced hot chocolate beverages. That's why it's called "hot chocolate," not "hot cocoa." Its smoky, rich chocolate flavor makes a wonderful after-dinner treat, and a great way to spoil your dinner guests for the Thanksgiving holiday.

We'll be featuring two flavors: Aztec, and Spicy. Aztec comes in an Original Blend (with 63% cacao) or a Dark Blend (with 72% cacao). It is, of course, named after the ancient Mesoamerican nation, which had its own highly prized version of hot chocolate. Spicy takes the rich chocolate flavor of Aztec and kicks it up a notch with cinnamon, nutmeg, and chipotle for an adventurous drink with a slight heat.

Simply add boiling water to these blends for a full-bodied cup of European style chocolate, or mix in milk for an American version. You can also refrigerate the European style to make pudding, pies, or as a filling in various baked goods. How many hot chocolate mixes can you do that with?

Aside from its decadent flavor and texture, MarieBelle's packaging is exquisitely stylish, blending eye-catching patterns and colors for an elegant product all around. It is a bright, festive addition to the usual Thanksgiving spread, or an ideal hostess gift.
