Mayan Hot Chocolate by Moonstruck

As often mentioned...my hometown, Portland, OR, has a lot of delectable treats and tasty offerings, but none quite so outstanding as Moonstruck Chocolate. Every trip home either sees me at one of their chocolate cafes or picking some truffles at the airport on my way back to DC.

When the air gets brisk like it is now...as autumn slowly fades into winter...nothing could be more perfect than curling up on the sofa with a fuzzy blanket and a cup of their Mayan hot cocoa. The powder mix is based on the spice blend of cinnamon, almond, and some undisclosed magical yum in their exotic best-selling Mayan truffle. When whisked into a cup of steaming milk the taste is downright sinful. Looking forward to indulging in it spiked with some Grand Mariner soon!

You can order it online for $12.00 for 9.5oz., or $2.00 for a single serving packet...great gift idea for the holidays!

For the first cocoa of the season, I splurged ($5.99 - wth!?) on some Plush Puff marshmallows in caramel swirl (peppermint puffs with plain cocoa for next time). Wasn't sure if it would take away or enhance the cocoa; still not sure. I was sent into a velvety smooth coma of legal addictive stimulants and hardly able to focus on the particulars of anything sensory, let alone what flavors I was experiencing. Sorry about that. Totally recommend it though. Hands down.
