Chocolate street vendor

Last week, coming down from the pyramid, I spotted a street vendor who sold chocolate in tablets (pictured in the basket). She gave me a tiny bit to try, and I bought a pack to bring home.

My dad made some hot chocolate a couple days later, and he says it’s the best chocolate he has ever had. That is quite the compliment, since Oaxacan chocolate is even more famous than Pueblan.

Today I saw the woman again, and she told me that she makes the chocolate herself :) Could buying locally get any better?
