Cocoa paste, fall treats, hot chocolate, homemade beverage

-
The leaves are about to change and in some places already are! The time for campfires and hot chocolate are close enough one can smell it.  Before the advent of hot chocolate mixes and syrups, squirt bottles and straws with flavor balls folks had to make hot chocolate from scratch and it was a little bit of a process which is why it was such a treat to have. There were those who had figured out to stream line the task making it easier to have this treat in a quicker amount of time once a little prep had been done. 
The Philadelphia Dairy Council had a cookbook sometime in the late 1940/50's. They included all sorts of recipes and tips to get more people to drink milk. Some of these recipes were then used as advertisements as these were in church and grange books. The groups sold space in their cookbooks to help pay for the printing of them.


Making your own paste at home not only tastes better, you can tweak it to your family's tastes. Your favorite chocolate, dark, light or white even. Added flavors such as cinnamon, chili, orange or raspberry can turn this into a family tradition real quick. The paste isn't just for hot chocolate though. It is nice spread on an apple or as the following recipe uses it, in milk shakes.

Compare ours to theirs

Buy them today! Do you ever go into the big fancy Stores and smell all the perfumes and fragrances and then just about pass out from the prices?  I used to, then I realized I could buy comparable scents at a fraction of the cost from Avon. Then I realized they had others that were far, far better then those on the shelves. This was all about a year or two before I started selling Avon by the way.  Here is a list of fragrances that I put together. I spoke to a few people I know and asked them to tell me what my Avon scents would compare to because I seriously couldn't do this on my own and everyone has a slightly different take so I wanted to have a survey so to say about it.  SO take a look at the list and see if any of them just might be what you are looking for! All of Avon's Fragrances can be found Online . Angel or FlowerBomb to Avon's Passion DKNY’s Be Delicious to Avon's Femme Amarige or Chloe to Avon's  Candid Green Tea to Avon's Haiku Hu
