I recently rediscovered my love for Dunkin' Donuts hot chocolate.
I first remember having their hot chocolate 2 years ago during Thanksgiving in Norcross, GA with my cousins at around midnight :) What a night that was?!? That seemed to be the best tasting hot chocolate from a store I'd had in a LONG time.
Since a DD wasn't around me in small town IL, I was without for nearly 2 years. :( I relied then on Swiss Miss packets to sate my hot chocolate desires! Now, Swiss Miss is not too shabby. I believe they have most likely the best tasting, packet produced, chococate taste - even with water!
But hot chocolate has become a love of the american lifestyle and more importantly...my lifestyle! I drink nearly a cup of it a day. It's not coffee, but chocolate.
Even one of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, understood this:
"The superiority of [hot] chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain..."
Thomas Jefferson (1785) in a Letter to John Adams
In other words - America Runs on Dunkin' ( https://www.dunkindonuts.com/ )
Here are some links to hot chocolate recipes....let the love grow!

Great to see your beautiful billboard face again. And I always appreciate a Presidential quotation on things non-political.
