I received a gift of Godiva Hot Chocolate for Christmas and it's been sitting on the pantry shelf ever since.  I didn't want it to go to waste, so the girls and I decided to open it up and give them a try. 

Since we are an alcohol-free family, we decided we would have a Hot Chocolate and Cake Tasting instead of the usual wine and cheese thing.   Actually, the cake was tacked on at the very last moment because Rebecca noted that there was just a smidgeon of cake left and that we had better polish it off before the boys arrived home.  I thought it was an excellent plan.

Since I'm by nature somewhat lazy, instead of three mugs of each of the three flavors (NINE mugs to wash), we opted to have three small mugs and just stick straws in for a sip. 

We sampled the Milk Chocolate, the Caramel Chocolate, and the Dark Chocolate varieties.  And no, Rebecca is not spitting her chocolate into the sink.  The little twerp is trying to avoid being photographed. 

Milk chocolate won hands down.  The dark variety was a bit bitter and the caramel too sweet, but the milk chocolate was juuuust right.   We then each took one of the already used mugs and proceeded to mix up the "perfect" concoction by adding all of the different flavors in varying amounts to our own mug.  In this way we still wound up washing only three mugs!  Oh, and the cake was delish as well. 

I'm sure you are wondering what was Tonks doing while all of these shenanigans were occurring in the kitchen.  Why she was curled up in a warm sunny spot in front of the fire!
