I've dreamed about drinking chocolate ever since trips to London and Paris last year. Is there anywhere in the Twin Cities that you can buy drinking chocolate already prepared? I know you can buy mixes at grocery and specialty stores, but I'm looking to just buy a hot cup of drinking chocolate. Maud Borop's was the only place I knew of that had something like it, but now it's gone.

They certainly have other kinds of chocolate at Golden River and Fig so, it would make sense! http://www.chowhound.com/topics/317220?query=golden+river+fig&user_name= EDIT: by the way, it's Golden Fig and River...I don't know why I always get the name turned about. Is the fig gold? The river gold? What does the fig have to do with the river? It just doesn't stick with me. ~TDQ Thu Jan 11 18:28:14 -0800 2007 2176976 12005 The Dairy Queen 2 2179295 Thanks for the info. I love Golden River and Fig. The owner also told me he wanted to have chocolate drinks and I've been asking him for months when it'd be ready. Soon, I hope!

Might be worth a try. ~TDQ Fri Jan 12 07:53:04 -0800 2007 2179295 12005 The Dairy Queen
