Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from @Reno_Dunkin

I don't actually get a mad craving for donuts often, but when I do it is all Dunkin'.  I love how they affordable they are, and what good quality their drinks are.  I'd much rather pay $2 for a great quality drink then go to Starbucks and pay $7 for a low quality equivalent.

I love their seasonal drinks as well, and I was super excited to try the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.  I got it to go and opened it up to let it cool on the ride home, filling my car with delicious caramel scent.  It was seriously heavenly and I really wished that it wasn't so hot so I could start drinking it.

When it finally cooled off, the taste was full and thick.  It didn't taste as caramel-ly as it smelled, but it was still a great quality hot chocolate that I wouldn't say no to ever.  I enjoyed my hot chocolate and my maple bar that day, and watched the snow come down while I thought about how beautiful Reno is during the holidays.

Cherry Car Bomb from Ceol Irish Pub

Every since I was a kid, hot chocolate was always my favorite.  I loved when it got cold and my mom would have it ready for me after I played in the snow, or while we were watching the Great Reno Balloon Races from the car.

As I've gotten older, my palate has expanded...to booze.  Mexican hot chocolate has also become one of my favorites.  Now, the Cherry Car Bomb is on the list.

I was invited out to hear a band play at Ceol, and I saw they had a host of hot chocolate concoctions.  I really enjoyed this drink, but I didn't actually end up tasting too much of the booze in it.  It seemed like a cherry flavored hot chocolate with the tiniest bit of kick in it.  I loved the bar however, it is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside of the building, and I love the deep wood decor.  I'm sure I'll be back to sample more kinds of hot chocolate as the winter goes on.
