We move from clothing and decor shops to something guaranteed to warm you up, hot chocolate. Becoming a fad in late 2020, hot cocoa bombs have jumped from your Instagram timeline to being sold right here in Pittsburgh. There are several places in the ‘burgh to choose from to get these tasty bombs but our ultimate fave is Square Cafe located in East Liberty. With seven different flavors to choose from; Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate (served with vegan marshmallows), Dark Chocolate – Caramel, Dark Chocolate – Peppermint, Milk Chocolate – Cinnamon, and Milk Chocolate – Toffee; the only thing standing between you and the perfect winter evening is a visit to the cafe or ordering online for pick-up!
