OP, try Rumchata or Godiva white chocolate liqueur!

Indeed it is a full moon.

I figured out what WS meant since this is the food forum. Is there something special about it? I haven't shopped there in a long time since the one near me closed. I mostly went in and looked around, and then bought something elsewhere. I think I only actually shopped at Christmas, lol.

The best chocolate drink mix I ever had we bought at Harrods or somewhere while shopping in London. It was called "drinking chocolate", much richer than hot cocoa, and was basically a tin of chocolate shavings and chunks. It was delicious but a lot of work to make hot chocolate with it. I buy the hot chocolate mix that looks like little milk bottles at Wegmans. It's pretty tasty and is made with milk instead of water (I usually drink tea at night, though the kids love hot chocolate).

The WS drinking chocolate is the same. It melts instantly in hot milk.

Cadbury makes a drinking chocolate.

How is Penzys hot chocolate?

I like the Belgian drinking chocolate mix from Trader Joe’s.

We just became South Mountain Creamery customers. Their chocolate milk is ok cold but amazing hot! Yum.

Anonymous wrote:I make hot chocolate by melting 72% chocolate into evaporated milk,and freezing it in 2oz cubes. Hot chocolate is much more luxurious than hot cocoa.

This is intriguing. What’s the ratio and how big should the cubes be?

I mean, it’s fine, but it’s no better than any other drinking chocolate you can buy. It was a gift; I wouldn’t have overspent just for the Williams Sonoma brand name.

Also, these days, it’s easy to make your own recipe with just two ingredients from a regular grocery store. I like to add a little vanilla to hot chocolate and you should really add a bit of salt, but who in the Williams and Sonoma crowd doesn’t already have sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

Enjoy shopping at William Sonoma, but still literally had to google what "WS hot chocolate" was. Lame.

Someone practicing English or social skills maybe. My sister has developmental delays. She had to practice conversations a lot so that she got used to speaking to people outside of the family. Sometimes her openers were just a little off-kilter like this. She would really want to engage a classmate or neighbor and try to find something other people might be interested in as her speech specialist suggested. And sometimes it just flopped. People were so confused. But now she has a great sense of humor.

I take my WS in my Lalique it tastes like trash any other way.

Cause their chocolate is better than your chocolate. Nothing but Nestle for you scrubs!
