On a search for Christmas stocking stuffers, we walked into The Granary last week where we were greeted enthusiastically and told that there was a 20% sale of chocolate products on that day.
In passing I note that The Granary is a locally-owned health food sort of store.
We purchased several items including a Camino hot chocolate mix. I am not sure what specific variety we purchased, but this image will serve the purpose.
We are also pleased to know that Camino is a Canadian company in our region and that it is also a fair trade company. Who could ask for more?
A day or two later, I found myself in the liquor store where I purchased Baileys Irish Cream whiskey. We tend to do this come the Christmas season.
We don't drink much hot chocolate, and we don't drink much alcohol, but my oh my! has this combination of Baileys plus Camino been a most wonderful dessert drink for the past four nights!
I just might purchase another bottle to get us through the entire Christmas-New Year season.
My family likes Baileys. I don't, but buy it anyway, 'coz that's the sort of person I am! (soft in the head!)

DeleteSounds greats. Baileys alone is a real treat!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! Not buying alcohol this year, still struggling to get my husband to quit. But Bailey's and hot chocolate sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds wonderful. I might try it in a bar just to see if it tastes as good as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteIs there a group that polices the fairtrade practices? I ask because I know there are organic labels applied and in my state there were several scandals of companies that were found to be violating the rules since nobody was policing them.
ReplyDeleteA very great hot drink, that warms the body and spirit! (I posted as a reply by error, and removed it.)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm, Bailey's! I have a recipe to make it but haven't done so for a few years, opting to take the "lazy" way and buy it. It's dangerous because it goes down too easily. (Recipe in my collection online; makes a lovely Xmas gift, but so does the store-bought elixir).
ReplyDeleteHaha. Why not buy a case? It will serve for the entire year!
ReplyDeleteFound yourself in the liquor store, indeed!!
