Fran Bigelow - Best Hot Chocolate In The US !

When Fran Bigelow founded Fran's Chocolates in 1982, it was a two-employee operation in a quaint Seattle storefront on E. Madison. Fran is producing extraordinarily high quality chocolates, caramels and desserts, providing the ultimate taste experience by using only the finest ingredients in small batches, no preservatives or artificial additives. In the meantime Fran has been named the best Chocolatier in America by some of the most venerated food publications in America, including "The Book of Chocolate." Fran's creations are available in specialty shops and select retail stores throughout the United States, including her own Washington area retail stores. If you never taste any of her chocolate, there is one product of Fran, that you need to try, should you be into Hot Chocolate, that is. Her Hot Chocolate mix is simply divine - it is like drinking a liquid truffle! Just add her mix to hot milk for a frothy cup of hot cocoa in minutes. It is made with the finest 65% dark Criollo chocolate from the Maracaibo plantation in Venezuela. It is still cold enough everywhere to give this one a try!
