Warm Up The NEPA Way
Posted: December 2, 2019
Warm Your Soul One Cup at a Time
Fend off the winter weather blues with a roasty-toasty mug of hot, chocolatey love.
One of the best things about NEPA winters (besides Netflix) is coming in from the cold and warming up with a cup of hot chocolate.
No other drink so effectively awakens our inner child quite like cocoa. This creamy, chocolatey concoction thawed our icy, red cheeks, and warmed our hearts. It was the best part of those random, middle of the week snow days. It was also the only reliable defense against inevitably frozen fingers and toes.
Warm up this winter with a sweet mug of good old nostalgia. Whether you’ve spent the day on the slopes or the snowy trails, there is a local café standing by with delicious hot chocolate – just like mom used to make.
