I feel so bad that I didn't get these up yesterday as promised. It turned put to be a long crazy day. I finished my Christmas shopping and I also went and saw the lights in the park which despite the rain was very pretty and a lot of fun. I Bible it that I will have everything on track from here on out. This one I think would be better if you make it with Milk and not hot water. It sounds sweet but isn't has sweet as you would expect. The vanilla wasn't over powering and the smell would be perfect for a candle. 10/10 This cocoa had just the right amount of spice and complemented the creamy chocolate perfectly. It has a great after taste and smells like Christmas 10/10 Caramel is one of my favorite flavors. So when I saw that there was a caramel cocoa I was really excited to try it. The smell alone makes you want to drink it. It pairs really well together however I think this would be really good in a coffee.... 9/10 This is another one I think would be amazing in coffee. It tastes like a darker chocolat than the rest of the cocoas. 7/10

Today has been a chill day. I woke up this morning made some coffee put on a face mask and relaxed with some Vlogmas on YouTube for a bit. The rest of the day was spent getting stuff ready for Christmas. I think I finally might have an idea for this years Christmas Cupcakes. I also sat down and came up with some ideas for future things on here. But enough blah blah blah lets get on to todays cocoa. If you love chocolate you will love this. It's very creamy and very flavorful. I made this one with hot milk so it was even smoother. Defiantly a cocoa that would be great on a cold night snuggled up with a Christmas movie playing. 10/10
It's really hard to take pictures when you have a small kitten who wants to be in the way of every shot. You may think its cute but it gets annoying really fast. So This is my presorry that one of the pictures is cricked Autumn kept batting at the camera. Weirdly enough I had been missing Gingerbread lattes today and this turned out to be the pick from the bag. The smell is all spices you wouldn't even be able to tell theirs chocolate by the smell alone. The taste isn't as sweet as some people would thing. I had to add a little sugar to it. The taste of ginger is really strong. You get a slight after taste of chocolate. All in all its good but not something I would love to drink more than once or seek out in a shop. 5/10
I am so sorry today's post is so late. This wont happen again. I bought props for the pictures and couldn't find a bunch of them. As well as the fact that life kept getting in the way. It has been a day. Lets get on to day 3. To be completely honest I was a bit disappointed in todays pick. We came off 2 very strong days with great flavors. The double chocolate just tastes like Swiss Miss to me. I didn't taste anything extra. It does have a smooth taste and was good go drink just not what I expected from the name. It's great if you love a classic flavor. I would give this one a 6/10.
I had to wait until half time to take pictures of today's cocoa. I hope everyone enjoyed yesterdays post and that you're all having a great Sunday. I'm updating the page a bit and adding a touch of Christmas to the sides. The way I have this site set up is that its better to look at on a computer than it is in app form. You see more cute things in the web version. If you're in app form you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see anything. Sadly I can't change that. No matter what layout I use. For those of you who didn't get board by all of that and is still here, lets find out what Cocoa I drew today (for a list of flavors click here) To be completely honest I was looking forward to this one. One of my favorite flavor combos is raspberry and chocolate. This cocoa had a nice fruity smell to it along with a silky taste. The raspberry flavor is strong but not over powering to the point where you can't taste the chocolate. It leaves a nice subtle raspberry taste in your mouth that doesn't taste artificial which I'm grateful for because a lot of times you can taste the fakeness. I would defiantly recommend this one 10/10.
Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Cocoa. I hope you're all having a great weekend so far. Mine has been very relaxing and what better way to spend a relaxing Saturday then to snuggle up on the couch with warm cup of cocoa and a Netflix binge. Without further blah blah blah lets find out what today's Cocoa will be.🤍 *I promise you will be able to read the paper better tomorrow* Just the smell of this alone screams Christmas. It's very rich and so creamy, the chocolate reminds me of a smooth German chocolate. This cocoa has the perfect amount of candy cane flavoring just enough to taste it but not enough to be over powering and sickaning. It also leaves the perfect sweet minty after taste. I would definitely recommend this drink to anyone with a sweet tooth and a love for Christmas. 10/10
With Christmas only a few weeks away instead of doing my usual Advent Colander count down threw the whole month this year I'm going to switch it up a bit. This year I'm going to to do (I promise the banners for the countdown will look way less student project.) I was recently gifted the 12 Cocoa's Of Christmas so starting on the 12th (this Saturday) I will be putting the names of all 12 cocoa flavors into a bag and drawing out one flavor a day until Christmas Eve. Then I will come on here and tell you how it was with a little cocoa tasting review. (You can find a list of the flavors below)
I hope this makes up for the lack of posting and that you guys come back each day with your guesses on what the flavor of the day will be. I will also be posting my tattoo story later this week as promised in my last blog post. XO That One Girl
It's finally here the last day of A Charmed Christmas. I just want to give Tina a shout out for getting me this advent calendar it was fun to do. I hope everyone had a great Christmas Eve. I had a relaxing day and now I'm about to finish up my cupcakes I still need to make the filling and the frosting. Hopefully they turn out good,I've never made tiramisu before. *if you are family and reading this and they suck tell the truth lol* Yesterday we got the word Christmas leaving Santa left. Sense we all knew that was the last one instead of guessing in the comments I asked everyone to say what their favorite charm from the calendar was.Sara and I both said the cross and Katie said the Christmas Tree. I have to say the Santa does look a little off. But other than that its cute, I put the whole bracelet together today and took a quick picture of it so you guys could all see. Thank you to everyone who checked the blog this Charmed Christmas. Also thank you to everyone who commented and participated, I have lots of plans for the New Year for this page so keep an eye out, XO That One Girl
Hey guys, I'm sorry this took a million years to get posted I woke up this morning with a migraine and didn't feel like posting anything. I had to get my cupcakes done and get a few other things done around the house. Then I took a nap for like 3 hours. I'm feeling better now and promise tomorrows will be on time, Sense there are only two charms left Santa and the word Christmas. What I want to do tomorrow is yes take a picture of the final charm but I also want to take a picture of the bracelet completed. So remember to come back tomorrow and check it out. Who's ready to see what I got today? Yesterday I said I guessed today would be the word Christmas. Sara is on team Christmas while Shelly Tina and Katie are all on team Santa. Its the word Christmas! Tomorrow will be Santa. Sense we don't get a guess I would love for you guys to comment bellow what your favorite Charm is. Mine is the cross. I hope you all had a nice weekend and I will see you back here tomorrow. XO That One Girl
