Dear Ramona,
hot_chocolate


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The words from this popular holiday song just keep playing over and over again in my head. Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of the wet white stuff falling from the sky. However, I am a fan of other things that the snow and the cold weather bring.

For instance, I really love cuddling up with my main squeeze under the warm covers. And when that's not an option, I cuddle up to a Truffle Shot, a warm cup of rich hot drinking chocolate topped with two, not one, but two home-made marshmallows.

This month I reach my arms to you in a hug and my heart to you with fond wishes of warmth and holiday cheer, and of course, a warm cup of sipping chocolate from 1 Angel Place, Chocolate Bar.

Happy Holidays!

eggnog_trufle
1 Angel Place, Chocolate Bar, announces the sweet release of our Eggnog Truffle. It's a smooth and creamy white chocolate ganache infused with Eggnog and dipped in our decadent 64% dark chocolate. The Eggnog Truffle will only be available in December.

Also new in the shop is caramel and chocolate dipped pretzel rods--called Prezi-dips. They are a delightful combination of sweet and salt and come in a two pack gift bag in milk or dark chocolate. Yummy!
Last month, we announced that coffee was coming to our little chocolate bar and it still is.... coming that is. I never thought that getting a little bitty espresso machine could really be so involved. Remember that we have free brewed coffee to compliment any purchase and we offer a coffee chaser with our Truffle Shot Hot Chocolate drinks.

It's hard to believe that 2007 is knocking at our door but it's certainly an opportunity to start fresh and try something new so we'll be announcing four new truffles for the spring season. Let's see what could they be? Have suggestions? E- mail the chocolatier at monalynn@whidbey.com.

A reminder that retail hours at 1 Angel Place, Chocolate Bar is 10:00 am to 5:00 pm every day, even Sunday and our on- line store is open for your shopping convenience 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
