Plow & Hearth Giveaway!


 I've wanted a hot cocoa machine forever. Since I'm not a coffee drinker, I wanted a special machine to make perfect cocoa. Usually, I'd boil a cup of water in the microwave or put on a kettle of water. Once or twice a year, I'd go all out and make a special pot on the stovetop to satisfy my cravings.  My husband thought a cocoa machine was a waste of counterspace, so I never received one. Until recently!
 Plow & Hearth spoiled me with my very own  Cocoa-Latte Machine and a set of Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate Mixes! I was eager to try it so I immediately unpacked it and washed it. I set it up with ease and followed all the instructions. I poured milk to the fill line and added my dry mix. I added one tablespoon per cup. This machine holds four cups.
I turned the machine on and watched. The machine mixed my cocoa and milk and heated it to the perfect temperature. It automatically stops mixing when the cocoa is perfect! If you dispense only a cup or two, the machine will turn on and reheat and mix your drink as needed! When you dispense your drink, you can turn the frother on and create a slightly foamy top on your drink. It wasn't as frothy as using a standard frother, but it was a nice option. I can honestly say this is not a waste of money or counterspace. This machine makes a smooth drink and it is ready to serve at the perfect temperature. This is great for dinner parties because you can mix and serve so many drinks! Perfect for hot teas, hot cocoa or chocolate, mulled wine, warm alcoholic drinks, and more! I love my machine and I've used it so many times. I love the Ghiradelli mixes too, especially the hazelnut blend! Mmmmm!
I am giving away a $50 gift card to Plow & Hearth to one US winner! To enter, visit Plow & Hearth and tell me what item you would like to have. No, you don't have to pick just one! Leave your answer(s) in a comment. For extra entries, like them on Facebook for two extra entries! Follow me on Google/Facebook/Twitter/Networked Blogs for one entry each. Giveaway ends midnight, March 1, 2011. Good Luck!
Disclosure: Products and giveaway were provided in exchange for this review. No monetary compensation provided.
