It&#8217;s right across the street from the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, and perhaps for that very reason, it&#8217;s why we did not know this place was there. I&#8217;m always so enamored with the Choo Choo, that I have not paid attention to my surroundings. (Sorry!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week I saw a picture on Instagram of a girl drinking a hot chocolate from there, and the post said that it was vanilla lavender hot chocolate. My interest was piqued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hot Chocolatier has all of your chocolate and dessert needs. They had a lot of pastries to choose from. In addition to our hot chocolate, Derek got peanut butter fudge and I got a pistachio macaron. There is also a ton of chocolate candies to purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derek got Mexican hot chocolate with cinnamon, and had espresso added in. I got what I had came for: the vanilla lavender hot chocolate. The hot chocolate menu looked amazing, and there were lots of flavors that we would like to come back for, such as salted caramel, s&#8217;mores and hazelnut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part was the very large marshmallow in each of our cups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of space for seating, and there are windows looking into the kitchen so you can see the chocolate being made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we lived in Houston, we frequented a place called the Chocolate Bar. It is the same type of concept. We both agree that we like The Hot Chocolatier better though. We can&#8217;t wait to come back! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507066738\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507066738_aaccdda728_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9801\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507796397\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507796397_728e291abc_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9802\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507796192\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507796192_bbd9f8cdae_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9804\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507575046\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507575046_6acce8348d_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9805\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507574996\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507574996_26224dcaff_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9806\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507066818\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507066818_3f3a836428_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9807\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507574761\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507574761_a0a220d791_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9808\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507574621\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507574621_942e3cf0f0_c.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9809\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49507067093\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49507067093_754a5547b9_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_9810\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s better on a cold morning with snow flurries than cups of hot chocolate?
