There’s nothing quite like the change of seasons and the start of hot chocolate weather. But as any true connoisseur knows, not all hot chocolates are created equal. Dominque Ansel takes the cake in. Kids can’t resist the playfulness that comes with each cup of cocoa.
Each drink is topped with a marshmallow in the shape of a flower, coated in white chocolate. When the chocolate melts, a blossoming flower appears atop your cocoa! Your kids will absolutely lose their little minds over the “magic” they’ve just witnessed, it’s a memory you’re going to want to record. And while the cocoa is one of the best desserts in NYC for kids, everything else sold here is pure gold for the adults.
