Oh, Chocolate. I love you so. If I end my life drowned in your goodness, I will die a happy woman.

A short post today, friends, because the beauty of cocoa speaks for itself.

If you’re not a fan of mint (which you should be), simply remove the candy canes from the equation.

Drink up, me hearties!
