We popped into a Dean & Deluca during a trip up to Rockefeller Plaza to look at the Christmas lights, and of course it wouldn't have been a Christmas trip without hot chocolate. Like most things at Dean & Deluca, it was a fair bit of money for not a lot of hot chocolate - $3 for only 8 oz. The chocolate was very good, though - it had a taste to it I can't quite place (a similar taste to the hot chocolate from Guy & Gallard, if you've been there). My girlfriend suggests it might just be the taste of chocolate syrup, and she may very well be right. Normally, I can tell when hot chocolate is made with syrup, since I don't particularly like the taste - however, I suspect this might be the difference between poorly-made syrup cocoa and well-made syrup cocoa. Dean & Deluca's is definitely well-made. It's rich and tasty, perfect for a cold winter night! It went very nicely with a ginger snap cookie I bought there as well. The cocoa came with whipped cream on top, and while sleeves were available for the cups, they didn't fit the small size.
