We are on schedule now. Thought this was maybe peppermint hot chocolate, but it was Spiced Eggnog! The “grain alcohol” in the ingredients made it super creamy and delicious.

Indeed. The “w” permanently wandered away to find more wholesome company.

Moving right along to Dec 22–we called it as Dubai Chocolate from the clue on the lid (don’t think they’re trying terribly hard to obfuscate). It was interesting—never having had the non-ice cream version, was definitely expecting more pistachio/chocolate, less halva. But tasty nonetheless.

And last night we tried the one earmarked for Dec 21–Browned Butter Cookie Dough. One of my favorites at Blank Slate so pretty chuffed to see it in the collection. Yum!

A bit behind on posting my reveals. The next was Hot Cocoa, with a surprise marshmallow layer on the bottom. Beautiful creamy chocolate with the fluffy marshmallow—top marks
