KITCHY ENDORSEMENTS

Broguiere's Chocolate Milk

Ding ding ding! Last stop nostalgia! Please exit now. The crew will be providing you with blankies upon request, as well as graham crackers with apple juice. Napping is encouraged.

I cannot think of a more efficient time machine than a glass of ice cold chocolate milk. It lingers on your lips, and goes down cool and smooth. It's creamy, but not too rich, and the perfect way to unwind after 8 hours pushing pencils and remembering your multiplication tables. Adding to its whimsical effect, my favorite chocolate milk comes in a tall glass bottle with a cow smiling at me. Broguiere's dairy is located east of LA in Montebello, and from what I've heard puts out an equally fantastic Egg Nog, which I'll definitely be looking into come Christmas time. But in the meanwhile, this chocolate milk is a fast way to hot cocoa bliss. Just heat it up, melt in an extra 1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate and add your favorite flavorings: vanilla, coffee extract, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, whatever. So whether you want it cold or hot, indulge your screaming inner child with a cup of the good stuff. Enjoy!

I am a chocolate milk addict and this, bar none, is the pinnacle, the peak, the top of the top, chocolate milk! Put it in the freezer and let it get a little slushy...ah, heaven!! (oh and I can totally vouch for the egg nog, a holiday delight!)

I'm so happy to find a fellow cult member! I can't wait to try the egg nog with a little brandy thrown in. Yum.

I still have an un-returned (and mostly un-washed) bottle of Brog Choco Milk on my counter. The fact that they don't make their own heavy cream saddens me to no end.

Indeed! And if you don't feel like returning it, the bottles make adorable flower vases.

Claire! I am currently sipping down my fourth glass this week of Brougiere's egg nog (with some brandy and nutmeg of course) and I can't remember the last time I've been so infatuated (sorry boyfriend).

My parents are opposed to consuming raw eggs, so it wasn't until I was living on my own last year at the holidays and made nog from scratch for the first time. I could drink it every day I loved it so much! I'm back at home now and so no more homemade nog, but the Brougiere's is just heavenly.
