As a baker, I order certain products in bulk quantities. As I was going through my inventory, I found some semi-sweet chocolate that I wanted to use up before I ordered a new batch.
I remembered coming across a recipe for sipping chocolate that I wanted to try. This Paris inspired drink was described as rich, chocolaty, creamy and so thick that you may want to use a spoon. The recipe called for semi-sweet chocolate, but I enjoy my chocolate more on the dark side. I modified the recipe and was absolutely delighted.
