I Love Love Love Hot Chocolate.
The batter-thick Lavazza version that is essentially quite literally a melted chocolate bar
the malty marshamallow tinted version that more closely resembles its Mexican ancestor
But what is so special about hot chocolate? what distinguishes it from other chocolate products?
What makes it feel homey and soothing in a way that a chocolate chip cookie isn't quite the same?
It's hot. But so is chocolate lava cake
You hold the warm cup in your hands
It's liquid, like a chocolate soup, that is hot from the second it touches your tongue all the way until it slides down your esophagus to your stomach
The psychological-physiological link where it feels like it literally warms your body and your soul
Even though you can drink it anytime, it's nostalgic association with nasty weather makes it feel all the more cozy
