French Hot Chocolate
Parisian Sipping Chocolate Exps Rc20 253968 E08 26 15b 37
One of my fondest memories of Paris was sipping a cup of thick, dark hot chocolate at one of their patisseries. French hot chocolate is velvety smooth, rich, decadent and almost the consistency of a molten chocolate bar. It is meant to be sipped slowly and savored. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon Total Time
