This milky-white hot chocolate may be more cream than chocolate, but is that wrong? The temperature is just right and the taste will tickle your taste buds.

Listed on the menu as “Premium Drinking Chocolate,” this is a classic cup of hot chocolate that will not disappoint.
Hot cocoa is my weakness and you’ve given me a few more places to try, but as much as I love Kneaders for many gnongs, got chocolate is NOT their forte! I’ve tried it multiple times and yuck. Now I go across to Starbucks which has far superior hit chocolate choices!
Hot chocolate is my fave! I have a hard time finding things to love on the Kneaders menu. Including Kneaders hot chocolate on this list was a suggestion from a friend, but it’s good to know it’s not for everyone. I think that’s the fun of the hunt! This list has a little something for everyone.
