I was in Shaw's today and they have Vermont Nut Free Chocolate available.  I found it in the Natural Food Section (the old set up)...in the other Shaw's where they removed that section, I did not see it, but wasn't looking very hard either.

No, I think the point of VNF is to keep that heart beating -- and you on top of the ground and not six feet under. Lol.

Pumpkin fudge?! BE STILL, MY HEART!

Oh, and cinnamon is good too.

Salt is ok.  I do add chili powder for a change every now and then. And I don't add espresso powder-- I put in a shot of espresso to make a mocha.

HH, try adding just a pinch of salt or hot chili powder to that.  Or, a tiny pinch of espresso powder.  It really intensifies the chocolate.

As you all know, as far as I'm concerned chocolate can't be too intense, LOL.

if you're ordering from vermont nut free, make sure you use the "sept15" code for 15% off.

that sounds good. My hubby  has big hands-I'll use his for the "small handful".

A little OT from original post, but I have te best recipe for hot chocolate.  Heat a cup of milk (or substite if milk allergic, but I cannot speak for how good that version would be).  Add a small handful of chocolate chips (I use guittard, the better quality chips, the better the hot chocolate).   Blend together with a handheld milk frother. OMG!  It is so good.  In fact, I think I will go make myself one right now.

This statement was from the comments section on FB about the new products (written by VNF Choc):

The Hot Cocoa Mix does not have any coconut oil or any other oils for that matter. Sugar, Cocoa and Vanilla are the ingredients.

It would be awesome if their Hot Cocoa does not contain coconut!!!!
