Chili & Hot Chocolate

Today it's gray & cold here in NYC & it's suppose to snow. It's the perfect day for chili & hot chocolate! I'm throwing all the ingredients in the slow cooker for the chili & I'll post the recipe later. You don't need to have a crockpot to make the chili. I'm using it today so that Tom & I can go in search of fabulous Angelina-like hot chocolate. Bakerina told me about Mariebelle's in SOHO so that's where we are headed. Their stuff also comes in chocolatey pellet form just like Angelina's. I hope it's good. Keep your fingers crossed!

Yvonne lives 5 hours out of Paris & has offered to pick up the real deal for me next time she's there. I'm willing to wait for it. Thanks, Yvonne!!

I would like to make & perfect my own marshmallows to go with Angelina's chocolate heaven. I found one recipe from Martha & it is very involved & time consuming. Has anyone ever made their own marshmallows from scratch? Can you pass along some tips or advice or even the recipe?

Please please please post that recipe for the chili! Hubby and I bought a slow cooker last week, and we'd love to try it out.

Mmmmm, sounds like a delightful combo (there's a blog that belongs to a Brit illustrator called Chillies & Chocolate, btw)! I tried the Chantico drink mentioned by LJC over the weekend. Yummy, very, very rich. Not sure how it will compare to the Mariebelle and the Angelina's...I trust your gustatory senses, so if you try it out, I'd love to hear how it compares!
