After having all of our holidays cancelled at the last minute due to COVID over the past few years, we are finally able to get away! We (well I) had the idea of bringing with us 10 drinking chocolates made from 10 different Australian bean to bar chocolate makers to sip/review along the way. I will be sharing these chocolates, as well as scenery from beautiful Western Australia on my blog and on Instagram @ultimatehotchoc shortly.
While looking into which ones to bring, I got completely carried away and made not only a comprehensive list off all of the drinking chocolates offered by makers in Australia, but I also did a bit of a study on all sustainability claims made by makers in Australia. See below for all the details and infographic at the end.
Thanks for following and if you have any hot chocolate news you'd like to share, send it over!
