Hot Chocolate On A Stick, from Boon Chocolates, Darlinghurst

Sure, it’s hibernation weather right now, but it’s worth bracing snap-freeze temperatures to secure a take-home hot chocolate pack from Boon, Darlinghurst.

For $8.50, you get a little bag with two ‘hot chocolate popsicles’. Melt the choc in half a cup of milk and add the remaining half-cup when the choc starts slinking off the paddle pop stick and swirling through everything.

I like to add cardamom to the mix, just to give the drink some minty bite.

Although it’s not as lovely and decadent as lounging in the Boon upstairs salon and having the hot chocolate served on a platter (with a mini-mousse and praline for $7.50), it’s definitely a winter-redeeming nightcap.

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
