Speaking of Chocolate

I just wanted to say one thing today. Don't let this season slip by without trying the 72% Dark Chocolate Gelato Pops or the Chocolate Soda. They are made with tender loving care just for you. The Pops are produced in batch sizes of 20 each. This way we insure the proper preparation to insure the full flavor development of the chocolate. We have had people shy away from these pops at "The Market" because they say they don't like chocolate ice cream. There is a reason for that. The type of chocolate used in regular chocolate ice cream is cocoa powder, not REAL PURE 72% DARK CHOCOLATE. Plus, the cooking of the ingredients before freezing is critical to bringing out the full flavor of the chocolate, not just leaving it as powdery, frozen dust. And besides, these are Gelato, not ice cream. Ice cream has much higher fat, 12-16% compared to only 6% in my Gelato Pops. The importance of this is that the lower fat content allows the chocolate to speak up and be heard above the taste of the milk fat. The same is true about the strong flavor of the Chocolate Soda. It is fat free based upon serving size. Which means that it has less than 0.5g of cocoa butter per serving. This translates to a pronounced chocolate flavor, even in this cold frosty form. So, come on, live a little. Have some chocolate excitement while these summer items are still available.
