Drinking chocolates are the perfect way to help with the transition from this chilly weather to spring thaw, especially when you can use them to make delicious sauces for ice cream, gelato, frozen desserts or dipping bread and fruit. The temperature is forecast to hit balmy 50sºF in the coming week after another covering of snow, which sounds perfect for ice cream or cold drinks on a sunny porch (we’re in Vermont, after all, anything above freezing is considered warm!).
