Chocolate

Ranked #15,811 in Food & Cooking, #274,470 overall

Some of us have a love for chocolate that permeates our lives. We share it, horde it, but we have to have at least a little bit every day.

Here in the northern hemisphere, particularly those of us up north, the short days scream HOT CHOCOLATE. Something warm, rich, a bit spicy and soul soothing. Coffee is better with a smidge of chocolate in the winter. A tiny piece of dark chocolate helps us keep working through dark afternoons.

What is your winter chocolate ritual?
