Warm the tummies of clients or staffers this holiday season with the decadent new hot chocolate from Artisan Confections. The Arlington-based shop uses only fresh ingredients and French Valrhona chocolate to create its signature collections (the salted butter caramels are legendary), and the chocolatiers apply the same craftsmanship to their Bittersweet Hot Chocolate Mix. Calling for milk instead of water, this is not your regular mix—rather, real flaked chocolate whips into a frothy cup of cocoa. One tin retails for $15 and contains eight servings.
