It’s not exactly breaking news but baby…it’s cold out there. If you’re looking to heat things up or send a an ‘out-of-the-box’ sweet gesture for Valentine’s this year… these Hot Chocolate Batons ($36) are quite the score. Not sure if someone on your gift list is a coffee or tea person? No need to wonder! Who doesn’t love hot chocolate! At the end of each stick is just enough Belgian milk, dark or caramel-flavored chocolate to make one perfect cup of hot cocoa. Simply stir into a cup of hot milk and allow the chocolate to melt. The result is the creamiest, most scrumptious hot chocolate they’ll ever enjoy. It’s a fun spin on the perfect hot sip on a cold winter’s night!
