It’s getting to be winter, and what’s better than good old-fashioned hot chocolate? Well, it’s called The Swiss Swoon (“La Cuillère Suisse”) and it’s pretty damned simple, but when has simplicity ever gotten in the way of flavor?! The product consists of a wooden stick topped with a chocolate lollypop (30 grams of handmade, organic Swiss chocolate to be precise).
So, what exactly do you do with it? Well, you dip it. Drop your Swiss Spoon into hot milk for an instant cup of old-fashioned hot chocolate.
The best part? This clever way of enjoying hot chocolate is pure, organic chocolate. The Swiss Spoon has no emulsifiers, preservatives, artificial flavoring or coloring. Additionally, the company adheres to the rules of equitable trade… So don’t feel guilty about at least the moral side of your chocolate indulgences. Even the wrappers are ‘ethical’, recyclable in fact, with each colorful label printed with famous quotes about chocolate and nutrition.
Though currently still a small operation, once production increases, they all are hoping to lower their prices which currently run about $5.50 per spoon retail and $3.80 for bulk orders. It’s a simple, and simply amazing product. Well worth a try this Winter season.
