January Giveaway: Chocolat Chaud from Angelina {closed}


As you may have noticed, lately I've been blogging a lot about hot chocolate - from the best cup of chocolat chaud in Paris to the best chocolate y churros in Buenos Aires to my top picks for the best hot chocolate in New York City.  All of this yummy blogging had me craving Angelina's hot chocolate from the moment I landed in Paris - and indeed it was the first stop I made within my first hour back in the city.  Thanks to La Maison Angelina, I have a few new tin boxes of their very own famous chocolat chaud à l'ancienne, and I am giving one away to a chocoholic reader!

If you want to enter for a chance to win what is possibly some of the best hot chocolate in the world (yes, I shall ship it to you wherever you are!), all you need to do is a) add Little Pieces of Lights via Google Friend Connect and b) leave a comment below telling me where your favourite place in the world for hot chocolate is.  

If you want to increase your chances of winning January's giveaway, you can also do any of the following, each of which will count as an extra entry in your name:
  1. Like Little Pieces of Light on Facebook
  2. Follow Milsters Mac on Twitter
  3. Add Little Pieces of Light on Bloglovin'
  4. Follow Milsters Mac on Pinterest

If you participate in any of these additional entries, don't forget to let me know in the comment you leave so that I can keep track!  This giveaway closes in 2 weeks' time on Friday 18 January at 18h CET and the winner will be chosen using a random number generator. 

Good luck and I hope that wherever you are this January, you are feeling warm & cosy!

**

This giveaway is now CLOSED, and according to Random Number Generator, the winner is ... #9!  UshaJoy, congratulations, and please drop me an email with your mailing address so I can ship you your chocolat chaud à l'ancienne toute de suite !

  2. Oh yum, Angelina's! I picked up one of those yummy tins in 2011 and oh my I want to win one! I also like Cafe de Flore. Chocolat chaud is the best in Paris!

    ReplyDelete

  3. I usually go to Angelina's, but I recently heard that a place in the Village Saint-Paul quartier is supposed to rival Angelina's. I'll have to taste both several times to make a decision.

  4. I love Angelina - but without one in NYC, I will stick to the hazelnut hot choc at Grom, complete with hazelnut bits at the bottom of the cup! so yumm!


    ps follow you everywhere now - twitter, google +, pinterest and bloglovin!

  5. Angelina's is in my top 5, but Laduree and Cafe de la Paix are also FABULOUS

    ReplyDelete

  6. Ah, I looove Café de la Paix as well! I did a post on them and their amazing hot chocolate earlier in 2012. You can read it here: http://www.littlepiecesoflight.com/2012/05/opulence-at-cafe-de-la-paix.html

    ReplyDelete

  7. Ooooh have never tried hot chocolat at Grom! I will have to give it a try and possibly add it to my top picks list for NYC! And thank you for adding me everywhere - have also added you back on Pinterest. Bonne année !

    ReplyDelete

  8. Ooooh! Do you remember where in Village Saint-Paul it is? I am spending much of the day near the Marais today and would love to try it out.

  16. I like you on google+. My favorite has got to be Angelina in Paris! Although here in the states Wiliams Sonoma makes a similarly good chocolate ready and shaved to be made into hot chocolate as well.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Thank you, La Chapstick Fanatique! Shame you don't remember the name of the place in Barcelona. I am heading there tomorrow to help my sister with her move! I'll let you know if I find any great chocolate y churros places there :)

    ReplyDelete

  19. Ah wow, Williams Sonoma makes hot chocolate too? I never knew that! Thanks for the tip

  22. I can't find you on G+ :( The link did not work and Little Pieces of Light could not be found when googled. I have, however liked on facebook and followed on twitter! My favorite place in all the world to drink hot chocolate is on the couch at home (Lexington, Ky) snuggled up to my boyfriend of 9 years while we watch movieslate at night :)

  24. Hi there! Ooooh I love Jacques Torres' Wicked Hot Chocolate! I listed it in my top picks for hot chocolate in NYC in a recent post: http://www.littlepiecesoflight.com/2012/12/best-places-for-hot-chocolate-in-new.html


    Hope you're enjoying your new year!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Wow. That sounds incredible. I hope I win!

    My favorite place for hot cocoa would have to be my grandmother's kitchen. Her parents were from Mexico and the Mexicans take their hot cocoa seriously. I love the spiciness.

  60. Yay, I didn't know that you were on FB, twitter, pinterest. I'm not following you on all of them :)

    My favorite place is in my own home(does that count?), homemade hot chocolate, and a pinch of chili powder(as I watched when I was younger via the movie Chocolat) :)
    - miss you!

    ReplyDelete

  61. Finally remembered to enter!


    a) I actually didn't read very closely so I followed you on everything (I was already following you on some and I have no idea why I wasn't on the others), as either Isa or La Saloperie. But more entries, I guess! Yay!


    b) Best hot chocolate ever was in this little cafe in Ghent - it was raining and the cafe was half underground so we just ran down the stairs and found ourselves in this little dark space with quite possibly THE MOST DELICIOUS HOT COCOA EVER. But you know. Belgians. They do that stuff well. And waffles.

  62. It would be in germany with my family!

  69. I have NOOO idea, I just remember it was somewhere near the square with the giant old church. You had to walk down into it. To be fair, though, I'm sure MOST cafes there will have amazing hot chocolate - also, try the gaufres de Liège (I think I literally ate 15 of them in one day (I was only in Brussels for one day) and I felt so sick afterwards, but it was so worth it!).

  70. I follow via GFC as deb_oro

    I'd say my favorite place for hot chocolate is in my hometown, Thessaloniki, mostly for sentimental reasons.
    It's where we went everyday when we were students, a cute cafe called "Εν Μικρώ" (which means "in the little place", in ancient Greek).

    I still love it for the great selection of flavours, and for keeping the one with pepper in the catalogue, although few people order it. I am one of them, of course :-)
    Happy new year and thank you for the beautiful posts, good luck with the Marais apartment, I know how extraordinary is to find an affordable place there ;-)
