Two great films inspired this divine drink: Like Water For Chocolate and Marie Antoinette. (Okay so maybe great is the wrong word for Sophia's flick but it's fascinating and a new take on an old tale!) Mexico and France -- both with proud hot chocolate traditions -- are combined to bring you the best of both worlds. The richness of superb imported chocolate and the frothy thickness of the Mexican method.
Our hand-carved frother is a thing of beauty and a great tool. Called a molinillo (moh-lynn-eee-oh), this 12" wooden whisk is rolled back and forth between your palms to froth the mix to rich but thick 'n cream fluid unlike any hot chocolate you've ever experienced. I serve it in demi-tasse cups it's so rich. And you may want to thin it out - but not me. A demi-tasse of this ultimate hot chocolate on cold winter's night, we'll you know what it's better than???
Imported 60%-70% Chocolate Liquor Ground Bittersweet, Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Cocoa Powder And Milk Solids. No sugar added.
Mayan Haute Chocolaat includes: Ancho Chili powder, ground Saigon Cinnamon
Mayan Haute Chocolaat - The Drink of Kings!!
According to the ancient Mayan texts, chocolate was given to the people after the Sovereign Plumed Serpent God created it. Ek Chuah the God of Cocoa is honored in a festival every April and the Ancient Maya called the cocoa tree "cacahuatquchtl" stating that was the only tree worth naming. They felt the tree was from the gods and that the cocoa pods were the god’s gifts to humans. Mayan chocolate is mentioned in the hieroglyphics and were depicted with images on their religious implements and architectural structures.
We've honored their ceremonies by adding a just a bit of Ancho Chili spice and ground Saigon Cinnamon -- and we love to serve it in demi-tasse cups topped with whipped cream, ground almonds and cinnamon stick stirrers.
Your Dark Hot Chocolaat comes divded into 6 portions for your convenience. Each mini-bag makes 6 thick 'n rich demi-tasse servings without thinning. The total mix makes 36 ounces of divine dark hot chocolate without being thinned, double that if you thin it. Take your chocolate experiences to a new "Oooooooooo!" Try our Dark Hot Chocolaat!!

Just had to write and tell you how much I appreciate the extra goodies in my order! Most of the stuff in the gift basket I plan to pass along to friends for Christmas, so they can learn what fabulous stuff you make!
Keeping the haute chocolate and chamomile-lavender tea for myself, ha ha! As well as the small tins of Healing Essense and Enfleurage. I put the Enfleurage on my desk at work - it makes a great instant pick-me up. I think I'm becoming addicted, because I keep smearing it all over my hands and smelling them.
