Flash Post: Hot Stuff


popbarWhat It Is: Gourmand hot chocolate – on a stick from NYC gelato shop, Popbar! Simply dip into steamed milk and stir and watch as the chocolatey goodness – in dark, milk, or vanilla white flavours – melts away into a perfect hot beverage for a cold winter’s day.

Who It’s For: Your surprisingly sophisticated niece that’s been raised on sushi and crudites, and turns her nose up at the store-bought stuff. Your can’t-stand-coffee coworker, as a sweet way to indulge on a gloomy day. The hostess of your mid-winter book club meeting, to enjoy while curled up with next month’s pick.

What It Costs: $3.29 a bar.

Where It’s At: In Canada for online shopping, I managed to track it down at Ontario-based deli Vincenzo’s. Fair warning, it’s expensive to ship but it’s also flat rate shipping – so stock up on a bunch of the store’s nifty, hard-to-find goods to have a loaded pantry for gift-giving. You can also ship to a US address through Amazon.com (a three-pack costs $6 to ship) if that’s an option for ya.

Did you see my amazing Rodial giveaway that went up yesterday? I promised you bonus entry opportunities on all non-contest posts, and this is the first one of ’em. The name of the game is simple: follow Rodial on Twitter and drop your Twitter handle into the comments on this post, along with the hot chocolate stick flavour you’d most like to try!
