What do you get when you combine great hot chocolate, s’mores, and an amazing view of the ocean during sunset?  The hot chocolate and s’mores bar at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay!  Having this experience with your kids can be magical.  You’ll be sitting in chairs over looking an amazing sunset with a fire pit right in front of you.  You’ll have some luscious hot chocolate in your hand and a s’more kit that contains a bittersweet 85%  chocolate bars, vanilla bean marshmallows, and graham crackers from Recchiutti Confections in San Francisco.  On top of the sunset you’re going to see a smile on your kid’s face that will brighten any darkness.

The hot chocolate bar is available on Friday and Saturday nights from 5:45 Pm to 9:30 Pm and I recommend that you get there early.  Also, make sure you bring warm clothes and some cash as this experience isn’t the least expensive experience available.  Hot chocolate will set you back $9 per cup and the s’mores kit is $45 which will create 8 s’mores.

To get the Ritz, take 280 or 101 to 92 west.  Take 92 west until it ends in Half Moon Bay and turn left at Highway 1, then turn right at Miramontes Point Rd.  Take note, on nice days there are several people that decide to head to Half Moon Bay, so traffic can take up an hour to get there.  My suggestion is to start heading there earlier in the day.
