After losing weight, I rarely indulge in sweet treats anymore, despite them being my absolute favorite. I’m a recovering expert on all things sugar. However, there are times I “budget” for a treat, so you can bet it’s going to be something exceptional.

Lubbock’s Source For Fresh Chocolate

Since I am unwilling to compromise on quality when I want chocolate, I usually find myself at Chickie’s Tasty Treats (4930 S Loop 289 STE 205). Everything is made fresh in-house with high-quality ingredients by people who care to make each item delicious and beautiful. You’d think it would be expensive, but it’s actually quite reasonable. They have chocolate bonbons, bars, caramels, and all manner of chocolate-dipped candies. They also have macarons, cupcakes, cookies, and cheesecake, and it’s all excellent.

The Best Hot Chocolate In Lubbock, Nay, The World

I’ve been dying to try the hot chocolate there, and it was beyond my expectations. Real warmed milk combined with melted milk chocolate, topped with torched marshmallow fluff. It warmed my heart and was rich enough to share. We both couldn’t believe just how good it was, and the torched fluff had the added feature of insulating the hot chocolate so it stayed hot. So clever!

Lubbock Agrees With Me

I posted my hot chocolate on LBK Foodies, with the comment that I am now ruined for all other hot chocolate. The people agreed with me:

RIGHT? Me too! RUINED! I’m RUINED!

Agreed it’s very good! 

…and there were many comments from folks ready to try it. It makes me so incredibly happy that Lubbock supports small businesses and that our small businesses deserve the love.

And beyond the decadence, the expertise, the freshness, and everything else that makes it wonderful- that IS the secret ingredient. The love and care you can taste in every warm, sweet sip.
