Choco-Phrase
of the Month
Molinillo
refers to a wooden whisk used to mix and froth hot chocolate. They are made
from one solid piece of wood, generally pine, and are burned to create ornate
patterns. Cared for like any other wooden kitchen utensil, they are each unique
and designs are characteristic of regions of Mexico and different countries
of Central and South America. You can usually purchase them at local Mexican
markets or at Cost Plus World Market www.worldmarket.com
A MORSEL OF NW CHOCO- HISTORY
No
trip to Downtown Bend, Oregon is complete without a visit to Goody’s
Chocolate & Ice Cream Parlor. Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year,
Goody’s top two ice cream flavors are Oreo Cookie & Coffee Bean (chocolate
ice cream with espresso and coffee bean bits). Their most popular confectionery
items include turtles and cashew clusters. They produce about 40,000 pounds
of delicious chocolate each year. Now, that’s a lot of turtles! Discover
