With a name like Hot Chocolate we had to at least try their desserts...A cocoa induced comma is not entirely out of the real of possibility here.
This warm cozy Wicker Park bistro with the many hues of chocolate on the walls and furniture was the perfect place to end our day's food adventure. We sampled several hot chocolate drinks that were a dessert in themselves. The medium hot Chocolate was anything but ordinary...deep and rich chocolate with that smooth silky texture you only get by mixing the very best of ingredients. I ordered a Black and Tan this chocolate cocktail consisted of rich hot chocolate resting on a layer of hot fudge in the bottom of the glass and a homemade marshmallow on the side. This should have been where I stopped but as long as you're in you may as well get all the way in...we ordered several desserts a Peppermint White Chocolate pudding that all agreed was the prize winner of the night. We tried several other choices as well...a dark chocolate cake with a salted caramel ice cream, and apple tart and creme brulee but hands down the Peppermint White Chocolate pudding was the winner.
Hot Chocolate is known for not just great dessert but for great food as well. Next time we are in Chicago we will catch their brunch which I am told by many is one of the best in town.
