Pomegrante chocolates for Happy Mother’s Day and any other occasion

May 10, 2015 by Food Polka

March 14, 2015 by Food Polka

When Spring Break comes to mind, many people envision jello shots. While these may be a staple at college parties, I refuse to create the cliché jello shot that everyone expects. Instead, I decided to blend the traditions of an American dive bar with those of an Italian coffee bar.
