Sweet Failure at the Local Chocolatier

Last night Gwenn and I went into our local Chocolatier. They often have Portland made sugar-free chocolates sweetened with agave. But last night they were out. Gwenn got a sweet chocolate thing and the staff offered me an agave sweetened hot cocoa drink. I asked if they could make something cold, like a chocolate shake. They said they could. After the cashier had a lengthy talk with the staff behind counter (explaining what I wanted) they charged me several dollars for a drink that contained milk, some cocoa powder, and a squirt of agave syrup. It was awful! Still, I was thankful that they tried.

There are alternatives to sugar sweetened chocolates out there but I suggest you not be the guinea pig when ordering them or you might be in for a disappointment. Find a place that has something already made and perfected and you’ll be surprised and amazed at how good (and sweet) agave chocolates can be.
