Hot Chipotle Chocolate
Good + - Very Good

Calories: 239 calories (estimate) for 4 pieces
Cost: $10.00 for 8-piece box
Purchased from: Rockwall Wine Company, in Alameda, CALast week I brought home some new boxes of CocoTutti (cocotutti.com) chocolates.
And then, my apologies to CocoTutti, I made a terrible, rookie mistake a few days later -- after trying some of the company's wonderful pieces with liquid caramel centers, and lavender and lemon piece.
I left these on my dining room table under a skylight. And, just a few minutes later, the result was a partial meltdown (see image at right).
The solution: I melted three pieces of "Hot Chipotle Chocolate" (and one piece of "Raspberry - with housemade jam") chocolates in a small cup, and the result was a fantastic, rich drinking chocolate with just the right spicy chipotle kick. While I recommend enjoying these in unmelted form, it's good to know that good chocolates can be enjoyed in beverage or fondue form in an emergency.
Today was Day #1 of Chocolate Beverage Theme Week.
