As the weather where I am turns colder you'll be seeing more and more reviews of hot chocolate drinks. At the Bakehouse in Bloomington, Indiana, I recently ordered the largest hot chocolate they had. Here you see it in a photo with a molasses cookie. The presentation was just off in this big travel cup and the product was too hot to allow the cocoa to come through. I let it cool and still the cocoa taste was rathe weak. Furthermore the chocolate and the milk started to separate meaning I had to stir it to keep it mixed and when I pay for hot chocolate in a restaurant, I think it should remain mixed without my need to stir, I can get that quality as you've seen from homemade hot chocolate drinks. The best thing about this was that I could break off pieces of the cookie and dip it and that was nice to enjoy.
The Bakehouse also has a Chocolate Cookie and that is what I thought the Molasses cookie because they don't label their cookies, merely wrap them in plastic and place them in a basket and sometime the counter worker doesn't know what items are; that's a big problem at the Bakehouse. This measureas 4.5 inches across and has a light, uneven glazing of powder sugar. This cookies smells very cocoay and sugary and it tastes like a brownie. Not too sweet or bitter but a nice blend of those flavor in this soft cookie with a crisp crust all around it. This builds up both a chocolate and sugar rush and since it was the same price as the Chocolate Chip variety, I say choose this cookie instead.
Over all these are not the best chocolate items from the Bakehouse here in Blooomington but I hope my reviews give you some information to consider if you are in the area. Remember you can use the Search feature on this blog to find related reviews as well.
Sisters and Brothers, may you too take the time to slowly appreciate what the Divine and human ingenuity have offered you in chocolate.
