LINDT ITALIAN HOT CHOCOLATE – CICCOLATA CALDA

Picture this: You’re walking down a cobbled street in a small Italian town. It’s dusk time, and the wind is cold and blustery. You look around for a place where you can get a hot cup of coffee, and come across a small cafe. You ask for coffee, but your Italian is poor and the barista keeps saying something like Ciccolata Calda, Ciccolata Calda.

You have no idea what it is, but nod your head in agreement and hope it’s something warm and comforting. After a few minutes he hands you a big, warm mug of liquid chocolate. At least that’s what it looks like.

And then you take a sip, and you die and go to chocolate heaven.
Okay, you don’t actually die and go to chocolate heaven. But that’s how it feels as this magical liquid runs through your body and warms you to your very, very cold bones.
You look at the barista, and give him the biggest smile ever, because this is the best thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. And I mean, ever.
You actually want to hug the barista, but don’t because that would just freak him out. Anyway you decide that you have found the love of your life (the Italian hot chocolate, not the barista lolz) and you live happily ever after.
