Last Friday I spent the day over in Victoria, B.C., and ended up going to 4 chocolate shops. Chocolat, Chocolatiere de Victoria has the most amazing hot chocolate! I've always gotten some hot chocolate in Paris at the famous Angelina, and then been bummed that I couldn't get my hands on more of that thick, luscious beverage once I was back home. Luckily I can get to Chocolat, Chocolatiere de Victoria in 2 and 1/2 hours from where I live, so now I can get my fix a little easier!
Decisions, decisions! All their truffles looked so good! Unfortunately, the Champagne truffle plate was empty when I was there. Maybe next time!
I picked up a couple of their Italian coffee truffles to take home with me. All their truffles are preservative free, so they recommend consuming them within 8 days. Not a problem!
This is a hot chocolate list to die for! When I saw Pure Nacional on the list I almost jumped up and down.
I loved Chocolat, Chocolatiere de Victoria, can you tell???
Here is the Pure Nacional hot chocolate. I wanted to take more time to savor it, but it was so thick, and delicious that I got a bit greedy, and it was gone to soon! The Nacional hot chocolate is made with water, and you can't get whipped cream on this one because that would take away from the Nacional tasting experience. (Technically this is actually in the drinking chocolate category since it's made from real pieces of chocolate, and not from a powder).
My friend, Sandy, ordered the regular hot chocolate which comes with a little chocolate disk to eat with it, and you can get whipped cream on this one.
This is a pic of how they serve truffles if you eat them there. This is the grand marnier one which was so good!
These are the truffles I brought home, and then devoured the very next day! (I did share them with my husband, Josh). These are two of the Italian coffee, a brandy, and a cerise one.
What's your favorite place to have hot chocolate, or buy truffles?
