What’s better than snuggling by the fire with your sweetheart? Why, snuggling by the fire with your sweetheart and a cup of creamy dreamy hot chocolate, that’s what! We’ll never turn down a cup of piping hot cocoa, warming our hands and our heart on a chilly winter’s day. Throwing a powdery envelope into a mug with some boiling water works, but we like it velvety rich and made over the stovetop. In honor of heart day, we added a twist, tossing our Petal Dust straight into the mix.

The holidays are upon us, and that can only mean one thing: time for festive desserts! Apple pie is sort of a standard around here; delicious anytime of year but best when the leaves start to turn.
