Cherry Blossom Bliss

• 

• 

“Get ready to dive into our deconstructed Cherry Blossom Bliss Hot Chocolate. Made with 70% Bernard Callebaut chocolate and served with a scoop of deep-fried cherry ice cream, coated in chocolate cornflakes and topped with cherry cream cheese whipped cream. We’re paying homage to our favourite Canadian chocolate confection, the Cherry Blossom.”

Price: $12.00

This is always a fun favourite hot chocolate of ours. We love the personalized aspect of this drink, you get to make it how you want. Cravings gives you all the pieces and you put it together. They give you an empty glass, some deep fried ice cream, some whip cream and a glass of hot chocolate, and since we did the alcohol one we got a mini flute of the gin and chocolate liquor. You get to make it how strong or how weak you would like.

We always start off by tasting each individual element before we mix it all together. Every aspect of this drink is delicious by itself and it was a hundred times better altogether. Everything about this drink screamed chocolate and cherry, it was absolutely amazing, each element played off each other and added more cherry or chocolate flavour.

This is a definite must try, whether you get the alcohol one or the regular one.

Salted Caramel Chocolate

“Our house made hot chocolate blend with dark chocolate and caramelized white chocolate. Creamy salted caramel sauce. And topped with whipped cream and a salted caramel macaron. Available in a ‘make at home’ kit as well (whipped cream not included).”

Price: $6.50

This hot chocolate has a very subtle salted caramel flavour which was kind of sad, we wished that there would have been a stronger flavour of salted caramel. The macaron had a delicious salted caramel flavour that we wish would have carried into the hot chocolate.

This hot chocolate was not overly sweet with it being a white hot chocolate, which we were grateful for. Overall this is a very good hot chocolate, plus you can pick up some macarons when you go grab one of these hot chocolates.

Get ready for Chocolate

“Enjoy a creamy, intense Belgium hot chocolate, made in the tradition of European melted chocolate. The kind of drink you sip slowly in the cold winter months.”

Price: $5.00

This is a very strong, chocolatey, hot chocolate. The addition of the homemade whip cream really helps make the hot chocolate a little less chocolatey, but overall it was a very good hot chocolate. If you want something that has a very strong chocolate flavour then this is the hot chocolate for you.

Kristi’s Polar Express

“Kristi’s own chocolate syrup with a shot of peppermint topped with a house-made marshmallow, a drizzle of chocolate and candy cane crumble. Made frothy with milk or milk alternatives so everyone can enjoy this season.”

Price: $7.25

This hot chocolate was another winner from Kristi, it was delicious, smooth, and creamy. Thankfully the peppermint flavour was not overpowering in any kind of way, it actually added a little to the flavour of the chocolate which was delicious. The marshmallow was toasted and tasted amazing by itself, but we let it melt throughout the drink and when I got to the bottom of the drink I got to enjoy the marshmallow with a little bit of the candy cane which was amazing.

This is definitely a must try hot chocolate if you find yourself around Edmonton Trail.

Kristi’s Kentucky Campout

“Kristi’s own chocolate syrup mixed with Angels envy – Kentucky Bourbon Whisky finished in port wine barrels, some of the best there is. Topped with a little smoke and a roasted house-made marshmallow with a cinnamon stick. You will feel like you are camping in the hills of Kentucky – almost heaven.”

Price: $14.50

This boozy hot chocolate was very delicious with the Angels Envy – Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, it gave it such a warming effect with the hot chocolate. The whiskey also made the hot chocolate so smooth and very very good. Kristi also made their own chocolate sauce and marshmallows which really elevated the drink that much more.

The best part was the whiskey really blended with the chocolate and didn’t overpower the flavour of the chocolate. They really did their research and found the perfect whiskey to match with their chocolate to make this one delicious hot chocolate.

Red Velvet Cupcake Hot Chocolate

“Indulge in a sweet, hot chocolate inspired by red velvet cupcakes! Best Part? JusFruit will be using dragon fruit to bring out the colour and create a unique flavour.”

Price: $5.95

This drink was very good, it had the right amount of sweetness and tasted like a red velvet cupcake. The cream cheese foam is a nice addition to the drink as well. This hot chocolate is another great drink that we would suggest that you get out and enjoy.

While you are there we would also suggest that you try their second hot chocolate the Oreo Cheesecake Hot Chocolate as well.

Turtle-rrific Hot Chocolate

• 

• 

“We took inspiration from our favourite candies, Turtles, to craft this caramel, pecan, and chocolate drink. It is topped with a delicious combo of whipped cream, caramel and chocolate syrup, and crushed pecans. Last but not least there is also a Turtles Candy!”

Price: $6.50

Let us just start off with saying that we were excited to try their creation this year since last year was absolutely amazing. Now saying that it does taste like a turtle, we were unsure at first if it was walnuts or pecans on top. With that we found that whichever nut was on top made the milk taste different and almost change the flavour of the hot chocolate as a whole.

The hot chocolate did get better as we drank it, but again we are not fans of chunks in the hot chocolate and with the crushed nuts on top they fell into the drink and made it difficult to enjoy the beverage. We would suggest eating the whip with the crushed nuts before enjoying the hot chocolate.

When Doves Cry Lavender White Chocolate

“Rich and floral lavender white hot chocolate.”

Price: $7.00

We are always nervous to try anything with lavender, but Neighbour did a good job of not making it taste soapy. The whip was just the right amount of lavender flavour and when it mixed with the chocolate it was a nice flavour combination.

We have to say that this is probably the best lavender hot chocolate we have ever had, it has a nice subtle level of lavender flavour and the white chocolate is addition to the lavender.

Bergamot Honey Hot Chocolate

• 

• 

“Valrhona white chocolate infused with caramelized honey and bergamot topped with whipped cream and caramelized honey drizzle.”

Price: $5.75

This drink is absolutely amazing! The flavours all blend together so well and it is consistent throughout the whole drink. Each sip tasted the same from start to finish. There is a delicious honey flavour and mixed with the hot chocolate is amazing, the delicious bergamot flavour is such a great combination of all the flavours.

This drink is next level, it is so good, we struggled to finds anything really wrong with this drink. The only thing was that we drank it too fast that we wanted another one.

We have deemed this a MUST TRY!
