A Lay Over in Denver!

During my recent travels I had a layover in Denver. Once the puddle jumper of a plane landed I deplaned to the tarmac… I was blown away by the frigid air of Colorado! (I’m a west coast girl now… I was SO Not ready for 20 degree wind!) I managed to hurry into the terminal and booked it to the first coffee shop I could see for a Hot Cocoa. The only thing I really like about about chilly weather are the delicious warm drinks like Hot Cocoa and Hot Totties!

So I ended up at the Caribou Coffee… a wonderfully amazing coffee shop that is only in 15 states (California not being one of the 15!) I was all ready to order a small Hot Cocoa until I saw a very exciting sign… I had 3 choices of chocolate for my beverage… Milk, Dark or White Chocolate. I know, I know, its a bit ridiculous that I got as excited as I did, but it was really the first time I saw such an option… and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the intense flavor of dark chocolate. I will frequently pass on a dessert or treat if its made with milk chocolate because the flavor to me is just so bland.

Anyways, I went all out with this beverage… The Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa, Topped with Whipped cream and a sea of semi-sweet chocolate chips. OMG this was the most comforting beverage ever! It warmed me right up after that frozen walk from the plane till the terminal. On top of being super tasty with a rich dark chocolate flavor… when I took the top off to let the drink cool a bit… I thought the sea of chocolate chips was so freaking cute! I must have looked a little off taking photos of this at my gate… but they looked to good I had to share!

If you are lucky enough yo live near a Caribou Coffee… go indulge in this seasonal cup of deliciousness before it’s discontinued! Thanks so much for letting me babble about a beverage!

Happy Baking and Sipping!
