If you’ve ever been to France you know they are known for their hot chocolate, or what they call it “Chocolat Chaud”. It seems every corner you turn you can grab yourself a cup of decadent french chocolatey goodness. But this isn’t just any ordinary hot chocolate, luxury is the feeling that comes to mind when thinking about French Hot Chocolate. It’s not thin and water based like most American hot chocolates. It’s rich, thick, and full of flavor!
