Hot Chocolate Festival!

Yes, you read the title right, today I am talking about The City Bakery's highly anticipated Hot Chocolate Festival.  Now only five days away, anyone who has participated in this annual event during the full month of February, is probably squirming with excitement by just imaging the creamy flavors of hot chocolate that await.

Check out the calendar of flavors:

Now, this is not a festival in the traditional sense, but more a festival of flavors.  The City Bakery remains the same (aside from the daily line of people waiting for hot chocolate) and their hot chocolate flavors ($4 - $5 per cup, well worth it!) simply rotate for the entire month of February, however, you can always get their traditional hot chocolate if one of the daily festival flavors does not interest you.  A quick tip - definitely add one of their cloud-like homemade marshmallows ($1) to any hot chocolate you choose.  Also, you must try one of their chocolate chip cookies or pretzel croissants to top off your festival experience (stop by right before close and they hand out two for one baked goods).
