As soon as it gets cold outside, people immediately think they need to bundle up (think four plus layers) up to stay warm. Not a bad idea, but it’s just as effective to throw on your favorite coat and warm yourself from the inside out. Try making a cup of Chocolat Moderne’s new line of drinking chocolates instead of slipping on your thermal underwear. The four flavors, Snake Charmer, Madame ‘X’tasy, Kama Sutra and Midnight Oasis, are all delicious, but Madame ‘X’tasy is the stand out drink, a combination of espresso, burnt caramel and fleur de sel. There’s just something so unusually good about chocolate with a hint of salt. [$19, ChocolatModerne.com]

“Drinking Chocolate”? Puh-leeeze. It’s frickin’ hot chocolate. Glorified Ovaltine for snotty people. What’s next? “Hydration Liquid” instead of water? “Steeping Flora” instead of tea? “Imbibing Fermentation” instead of wine? PFFFFT! I blame Starbucks for the proliferation of preposterous beverage-related terminology. Die, Starbucks, DIE!

@Croutons Just because some American company company co-opted the term doesn’t mean drinking chocolate doesn’t exist. Americans generally aren’t exposed to chocolade chaud or cioccolata densa; but they are amazing.
As for a new brand of overpriced chocolate powder? Godiva at half the price is sure to be easier to find.

I kind of like the sound of “hydration liquid” and “steeping flora.”

Don’t know about ‘CM’s’ liquid choco, but their Caramel Caresse Bistro Bars literally make me melt.
