There’s something about a steaming cup of cocoa that just screams winter.
So, when the cooler weather arrives in town, we turn to our local purveyors for a guaranteed good ol’ cup of hot chocolate.
We might be a little biased towards this locally-made cocoa but trust us, once you get the taste for Grounded Pleasures' powdered goodness, you’ll understand why it’s loved by so many.
Alchemist Craig McKenzie’s cocoa is fairly traded and minimally processed (which means very high levels of flavonoids and antioxidants).
So rather than a guilty pleasure, it's actually good for you! And it’s also vegan.
Just some of the Ballarat cafes where you’ll find Grounded Pleasures hot chocolate:

Looking to take some home with you?
Browse Grounded Pleasures' online shop for favourite blend or pick up a box at local stockists Wilsons Fruit and Vegetables and Campana’s.
This cocoa can also be used for baking, so while you’re online, seek out some inspiration from the Grounded Pleasures recipe collection.
Think double chocolate cookies, pumpkin and chocolate chunk muffins, S’mores, choc cinnamon loaf and more.
