The Extreme Hot Chocolate Menu At This Maine Restaurant Is Exactly What You Need This Winter

Restaurants throughout the state offer tons of specialties that match the season. We love just how many milkshakes we can slurp our way through each summer, for example! And let’s not forget the incredible seafood options you’ll bump into on any car ride up and down the coast. But what’s on offer for the winter? Apparently, it’s hot chocolate and this spot in Portland offers some of the best!

Originally these beauties were meant to be a one-time special, but they've been brought back for February and we couldn't be more psyched. Options like this raspberry hot chocolate with a raspberry cheesecake can't be beat.

Unless you prefer things like peanut butter hot chocolate. Then you'll be happier with this option along with a chocolate peanut butter cake.
