Chocolate Hazelnut Coffee Recipe
June 7, 2022
Ever since I started working from home, I’ve been guilty of ordering coffee every day. Aside from this being unhealthy, it’s also crazy expensive! I’ve always tried experimenting on a few recipes every now and then, pretending to be a cool barista, but it’s always a failed attempt.
Until today…

KFC Tests Edible Chocolate Coffee Cups
May 22, 2015
It seems the UK is where innovation is really happening for the regular folk. It's one thing to be excited about the newest iPhone, but I'd be equally excited to start purchasing coffee if it came in an edible chocolate-lined cookie cup!

Reducing Liver Enzymes in HIV/HCV Patients
October 4, 2013
A recent study has shown that patients diagnosed with HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (Hepatitis C virus) who ate chocolate on a daily basis, and downed at least 3 cups of coffee each day, were found to have lower levels of ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) as compared to patients who had fewer foods that had polyphenol in them.
Scientists came up with these results from 990 adult patients coinfected with HCV and HIV. They tried tossing in moderate red wine consumption into the analysis, but it did not make a significant change to the results. Also, tobacco use had no impact on either outcome. A combination indicator for polyphenol-rich food intake including both coffee and chocolate consumption was remarkably linked to risk reductions for high ALT and AST.

If you've known me for a while you might know that I enjoy a good cup of coffee. While it's not chocolate, it's still a flavor I look forward to.
Well, that all might change a bit. I just learned about Crio Bru. It's a drink that is brewed like coffee, but it is made of 100% cocoa beans. Like coffee, the beans are roasted and ground. You put the grounds in your coffee maker.
And, according to a press release I read, "Crio Bru delivers the same intense, complex flavors of the finest cocoa beans found in artisan dark chocolate."
