Molinillo

Here at Rose’s Chocolate Treasures we carry authentic Mexican chocolate mixers, the Molinillo Mill. Our beautifully designed mixers were custom made for us in Oaxaca, and some even have our name carved onto the handle. This elegant instrument is adorned with rings and rivets to froth your chocolate beverage as you twist the handle back and forth in the palms of your hand. This mill is fancy and functional, you can froth or mix almost any liquid, and it will clean up wonderfully in your dishwasher. So come on in and spoil your kitchen with a beautiful new tool!

Chocolate Iced Tea

Have you ever experienced a refreshing iced tea that could also satisfy your chocolate craving? If not, we have just the delight for you. Here at Rose’s we have four different loose leaf black teas flavored with chocolate. We have a traditional Chocolate Tea, a Chocolate Rose, a Chocolate Mint and a Chocolate Hazelnut. Now that we are warming up with Spring, we will be serving our tea assortment iced. Stop in for a glass of these delightful refreshments or take a tin or two home with you.

Chocolate Astrology

Happy Birthday Aries! It’s going to be a very Aries April. On Sunday the 6^th, the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus will all be in Aries. This also marks a new cycle with the new Moon. So charge forward with impulsiveness, fiery enthusiasm and lots of drive. There is no guarantee that you will finish any of it, but no worries, you’re already on your way.

This month I recommend the Jalapeno Pumpkin Seed Bark, it’s that hot.
