I had the new Starbucks Espresso Turffle Hot Chocolate today. It was introduced on November 4th along with two other new hot chocolate drinks…
So, how does it hold up to the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate?

Yep.
They can’t keep something that good to themselves. Give this a try and let me know if you think it is close. I made it a little more chocolate-y by adding the bittersweet chocolate, you could go with dark or a mixture. Read more

First, I would be reviewing Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate… except I haven’t bought one yet. This may well change tomorrow because one of the flavors is calling me like the Sirens calling to Jason from whatever island that was…. Read more

I will say right off that of the coffees I got from Terra Nova, the Columbian is my favorite. It is smooth, rich and has a velvety mouth feel.

I am so not kidding. This was awesome. Except for the messed up meringue which I will explain in due time….
I love chocolate …and I love chocolate pie but I wanted something a bit different. You know how you stand at the closet door and stare at your clothes on Sunday morning waiting for either your body to suddenly drop 20 lbs OR an angel to appear and pull something out and hand it to you, saying “Thus sayeth the Lord..wear this and thy thighs will be as tiny reeds“???
Keep Your Caffeine Out of My Candy

First of all, I don’t often eat chocolate that is not Fair Trade. It is personal but I also think that the organic tastes much better…usually. Second, I really hate big corporate business. I would rather pay double to a small, family owned company. Unfortunately I can’t always afford to do that, but I try.
However, when I was at the store the other day and my son, the basket ball star, showed me a Snickers Charged I was skeptically intrigued.
“Go ahead, buy it. We will split it. ”

I don’t often drink cokes anymore.
Now, when I say that you have to understand that cokes is a generic word for sweet, fizzy drinks. Here in Texas you go to the Whataburger, and they will ask what kind of coke you want. Dr Pepper? Root Beer? Cola? Sprite? Read more

Have you had chocolate covered espresso beans?
Yeah, me too. Yummy.
I like to think of them as big people’s Raisinettes. They are not too hard to make, and as long as you start with a fantastic espresso bean, and add great chocolate, you are going to have an awesome end product.
Better than anything you have ever tasted. Really. Read more

I promised I would make these and post the recipe this past weekend but I didn’t. I didn’t make them, so I didn’t get the picture. I have the recipe, not a problem. I just like doing my own pictures.
But since it could be awhile before I find a minute to make them, and really it takes only a little longer than that…I thought I would just post the recipe. Read more
