When it comes to all things cacao, this New Hampshire-based chocolatier is one of the biggest names in the Boston area, with chocolate cafés in Back Bay and Harvard Square. Their old-school, European-style hot chocolate—or “drinking chocolate,” as Burdick bills it—is made with either Burdick’s dark, milk or white chocolate blends, or with single source varietals, e.g. robust mineral-flavored cacao from Grenada.
When the temperature drops, and the snow starts falling there are very few things that are worth leaving home for in Boston. But one delicious treat that always gets us to layer up and pull on the snow boots is a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Boston is brimming with rich, sweet, spicy and boozy hot cocoa options. Grab one of these comforting libations to warm up after braving the freezing cold this winter. Hot cocoa pairs well with taking a stroll through the best parks in Boston, or following a spin on the ice at one of the best skating rinks in Boston.
