Fall back: I still have some utterly marvelous @undonechocolate hot chocolate mix, so I made a cup of hot chocolate with water as always and added a magnificent @jenisicecreams flavor from earlier in the season, Green Mint Chip made with @askinosie chocolate, for a double craft chocolate affogato! Perfect for a dark and wet Daylight Savings day, right! Sunset in Chicago was at 4:41 and seemed even earlier, so here's to indoor sunshine! #chillyinchicago https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxzLpChJgI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rf2asuq7wa60

Leaf peeping! Before that: art peeping and vegetable peeping at @mcachicago and @soarfarmersmarket! #chillyinchicago (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSzWAZHk78/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3psj330pta4k

Hello there! I visited dear @cocoaandcochi to drop off some chocolate (guess what it was? I'll show you later!), and ended up leaving with a chocolate bar, namely charming @cacao_prieto's limited edition passionfruit crunch! It's a subtle bar, with cacao nibs that here give a very light texture, on similarly gentle chocolate, made in Brooklyn from Dominican cacao grown on the brand's family farm. ••• The weather in Chicago this morning is a bright sunny 29F / -2C (yes: below freezing), so a tropical dream is just what I needed! #chillyinchicago #upliftthroughchocolate (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpMs5cigRhu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y08p1vj43b8p

Perfect day for heavenly hot chocolate, plus #chocotenango's bold, balanced, and delicious Zanzibar dark milk chocolate bar with nutmeg, sea salt, and chili, which is now available at #cocoaandco in Chicago! 🍂 Of course this bar - like all the bars I'm honored to represent - meets my 5 Ss: sustainable, slavery-free, soy-free, small-batch, and scrumptious! #chocolatefreedomproject #chillyinchicago (at Cocoa + Co.)

Morning glory: I whisked up a vegan version of #creochocolate's Mayan Spice sipping chocolate (73% Ecuador cacao, cane sugar, and spices; just add water!) and it's a beautiful day! #chocolateforbreakfast #hotchocolateseason #chillyinchicago

Beautiful #creochocolate Mayan Spice hot chocolate in action! #chillyinchicago

Walk this way: walking meditation earlier, through blue Millennium Park magnificence! #chitecture #chillyinchicago (at Millennium Park)
