Blenz has unveiled a delightful lineup of hot chocolates for the holiday season, and they are truly worth savouring! With creative flavours and customizable chocolate bases (choose between dark, milk, or white), these cozy drinks are perfect companions for the chilly Vancouver weather.
Here’s a closer look at the available options:
- The Naughty - it's a spicy cocoa with hinta of vanilla and roasted acho peppers.
- Sticky Toffee Twinkle - just like sticky toffee pudding - creamy toffee notes and sweet dates.
- Holly Jolly Pistachio - rich avocado notes with a lush, earthy finish.
- Peppermint
- Hazulnut
We decided to try the Sticky Toffee Twinkle and Holly Jolly Pistachio, both made with dark chocolate for an added depth of flavour. The Sticky Toffee Twinkle was indulgent, with its caramel-toffee profile perfectly enhanced by the bittersweetness of dark chocolate.

The Holly Jolly Pistachio, on the other hand, offered a unique, earthy nuttiness that paired beautifully with the robust dark chocolate base. Both were exceptional, especially as the temperatures dip in Vancouver.

For food, we paired our drinks with two classics: a butter croissant and a roasted veggie sandwich on multigrain bread.
A warmed butter croissant. Flaky, golden, and decadently buttery, this croissant was the perfect light bite to complement our rich drinks. Each layer was airy yet satisfying, melting in our mouths with every bite.
The roasted veggie sandwich on multigrain bread is packed with flavour, this hearty sandwich featured roasted zucchini and red peppers, which added a sweet, smoky touch. The creamy house-made hummus lent a tangy, garlicky balance, while the baby spinach and melted mozzarella brought freshness and richness to every bite. The multigrain bread tied it all together with its wholesome, nutty texture.
