Hot Chocolate Sticks - The Movie

 

Hot chocolate sticks are more than an idea and one which should have any restaurateur raising an eyebrow.  Instead of going more generic with the lowest cost products available from your food supplier (Which are offered and served by every other restaurant on the street), be inspired by the amazing and awesomeness of www.30poundsofapples.com.  This video is about Hot Chocolate Sticks (For which I give two thumbs up) but in reality it is a video to keep you thinking with more imagination for how to connect with the guests by offering something memorable with more restaurant marketing ideas.

The concept is for Hot Chocoloate Sticks is simple: Take very good chocolate, melt it, add cocoa and powdered sugar, pipe into a mold, add a stick, and call yourself Willy Wonka. 

When I was a child, Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats were a standard dessert since they were almost the cheapest dessert parents of seven kids could afford.  Then the simple dessert turned into a standard snack sold around the world. Do not dismiss 'simple'.

In honor of the awesomeness of www.30pounsofapples.com and as part of my thumbs up review, here is a video to entice and tantalize you.

I wonder if you could use dark chocolate?

Be sure to reach out to  Kristi from the alpine desert of Southwest Colorado to say; "I love your Hot Chocolate Sticks!"  Then follow her lead, get inspired and keep people smiling.

As the boyfriend of the person who authors 30poundsofapples.com, I must say that this was completely unexpected. I can assure you that she is most grateful for your thumbs up review and accompanying awesome video. Without her permission, but on her behalf, I want to say thank you and keep on doing what you do!

Brad, 
You are most welcome.  
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who do awesome and others who write about the awesome that was done. It appears Kristi is both. Don't let her stop. :)
