Chocolate, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day fun but a chocolate-tasting or wine-and-cheese party aren’t for you, how about a cocoa and hot chocolate tasting? Explore the differences and pick your favorite brands while enjoying delicious cups of chocolate.

Cocoa is made from cocoa powder; hot chocolate is made from bits of chocolate—it’s richer because of the higher percentage of cocoa butter in the chocolate.

We love hot chocolate tastings, and have them regularly as a treat in THE NIBBLE offices.
