Poisons: Hot chocolate

Take a break with a cup of Cleveland's sweetest winter treat

With the fall of the first snow already behind us, we decided to spend a few weekends venturing around Cleveland to sample the perfect winter treat—hot chocolate. Most people associate that warm delectable drink with snow days, and winter activities like skiing, sledding, tobogganing or just building a snow fort in your back yard. But as we’ve grown older, we’ve come to enjoy a more thoughtfully prepared hot cocoa, and wanted to taste those that pepper our fine city. Chains and independents alike, hot chocolate is really all over the place, and from our experience, not all are created equally.
