A hot chocolate worth lingering over – and taking home.

Indulge in a luxuriously local experience with rich, dark Grounded Pleasures drinking chocolate, served in a handcrafted mug by renowned ceramicist Ruby Pilven. Think intense cocoa with hints of plum, dried cherry and sun-dried muscatels – paired perfectly with Grounded Pleasures marshmallows, made right here in Ballarat.
