Everyday is I Love Hot Chocolate Day at LAist!! In honor of this delicious holiday proclamation we want to share some of our favorite high calorie highlights from Silver Lake's Lamill cobweb treat and the ganache-y nosh of Intelligentsia's brioche pairing, to the toasted almond marshmallow topped cocoa at NOLA Ice in Sherman Oaks. For the Malibu bound, check out 6 to 7 teaspoons of grated chocolate in your Chocolate Box Cafe drink, while decadent spiced hot chocolate with ginger awaits the Melrose crowd at Mozza. Feel like getting creative? Pick up a bag of rich chocolate powder from Teuscher in Beverly Hills and try your hand at some of the above creations. more ›

With rains beating down on us thanks to the arrival of a late season storm, this afternoon is just right for a cup of hot chocolate. Maybe you haven't thought about that hot, comforting, chocolate-y treat in a while, but we can't forget some of our favorite places to pick up a cup. We're wild about Lamill's $3 not-too-sweet hot chocolate, deep into Intelligentsia's ganache-intense offering, and sweet on NOLA Ice's red velvet inspired hot cocoa. Sometimes, though, nothing beats the cup of hot cocoa you brew up at home and curl up with on the couch. You can always hit up one of these spots for cafe-made cocoa tomorrow or Thursday...since that's about how long this storm's expected to last. more ›

Recently, a group of friends came over unexpectedly and I didn’t have much to offer as a proper host. Scanning my bare cupboards, I found a box of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate packets and a bottle of Bailey’s. Ding, ding, ding! With the cold weather and rain, the warm beverages were a hit – even for the dudes who don’t usually like girly drinks. One excited friend named them Hot Chockis and the proclamation has stuck ever since. more ›
