There are chocolate lovers, and then there are chocolate lovers.

Chocolate lovers appreciate it. But chocolate lovers (say it with a French accent) are infatuated! Head over heels for the delightful morsels of divinity!

They're also inclined to get carried away.

Especially when they're getting carried to be the first in line tomorrow to try Caribou's new All-Natural Gourmet Drinking Chocolate.

No dusty powder here. It's just chocolate. You put the wee chips in cold milk and they melt instantly as it steams (or you let the barista do it for you). Available in dark, milk and white chocolate, try them as hot chocolate or added to any coffee beverage (mochas, etc.). (Our favorite is the milk chocolate steamed up in 2 percent with a touch of whipped cream.) The result: The smoothest, richest chocolate beverage you've had yet.

The Minneapolis-based Caribou teamed up with Guittard Chocolate Company, a California company that utilizes traditional French processing methods.

Together, they created a beverage experience.

Because there's hot chocolate. And then there is Caribou hot chocolate.

Caribou's All-Natural Gourmet Drinking Chocolate, available November 12. Enjoy it in coffee beverages or available in 12-oz tins (dark, milk or white) for $9.99 each. (There will be sampling in stores on Black Friday -- Nov. 27.)
