Chocolate high

Every once in a while, there comes a business that makes something so well that demand skyrockets and lines start wrapping around the corner. Not surprisingly, this has been happening for a while at popular Sacramento chocolate shop Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates (www.gingerelizabeth.com)—especially around the Valentine's Day and Christmas holidays. As luck would have it, the shop announced a few weeks ago that for the month of December, they'll be open on Sundays. In a Facebook post announcing its new hours, the owners explained that they'd simply been “wanting to open on Sundays for two years now and we finally are doing it!” By the way, if you're still looking to drop off a last-minute holiday gift to SN&R's offices, our favorites are GE's salty caramel macarons and Oaxacan Spicy Hot Chocolate. In other chocolate news, the Sacramento Chocolate Salon, an artisanal chocolate show, will return for a second year on January 31, this time at the Embassy Suites-Sacramento Riverfront (100 Capital Mall). Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for children ages 6-12 and free for kids under 6. More at www.sacchocolatesalon.com.
