Schokinag Chocolate

Anyone know where I can buy Schokinag European Drinking Chocolate in the Chicago area?

I recieved a can as a gift and my wife insists I find more.

Thanks

There's a little coffee house on Noyes in Evanston just west of the el tracks (sorry, can't remember the name) that serves it. they make up a fresh batch every day. I'm not sure if they sell it in bulk or not, but at least it's a lead.

I purchased some at Whole Foods in Evanston last year. I'm not sure if they still carry it.

Fox & Obel
401 E. Illinois
312-410-7301

Last year, Fox & Obel’s daylong Choctoberfest left me with a stomachache for nearly a week. This year the extravaganza has been scaled back to fewer vendors, stretched over two days. This Saturday, from noon to 4 PM, truffle masters Joseph Schmidt, Dutch confectioners Marich, and purveyors of ridiculously rich “drinking chocolate“ Schokinag are on hand with free samples while Gale Gand promotes her new book Chocolate and Vanilla; the Fox & Obel kitchen will be cranking out her luscious recipes all day. If you’re really intent on not fitting into your clothes again, you can go back Sunday for treats from dark-chocolate masters Scharffen Berger and Seattle-based Fran’s Chocolates, as well as more from Schokinag.

By chance some friends and I ended up at Fox & Obel at about noon today, hoping to eat lunch in the cafe. It took us about 30 minutes to make our way through the store, during which time we sampled:
1. Doughnut holes and mocha panna cotta compliments of Gale Gand (and bought an autographed cookbook)
2. Vegetable tamales compliments of Frontera Grill
3. Lox and salami (separately) from the deli counter
4. A couple cheese and fig/nut cake at the cheese counter
5. Schokinag hot chocolate (I personally loved the Moroccan Spice)
5. Truffles (from Joseph Schmidt, I assume, but they were doing such a soft sell that it was tough to even figure out what company it was)
...then we got to the cafe, saw the line that stretched practically to the cheese counter, so we changed our minds and headed to PJ Clarkes.

I rarely head to Fox & Obel on the weekend, but if this is a typical Saturday, I'm there every weekend!
