NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. â A Pasco County chocolate shop owner said hot chocolate bombs saved her business.
Michelle Palisi owns Chocolates by Michelle on Little Road in New Port Richey. She has been in business for nearly 40 years.
She said the pandemic destroyed her business. Some days we made no money, some days we made $20, $30, $40 and that was it, said Michelle Palisi. I have to do a lot more to pay the overhead, the electric, the rent and everything. We were not making it. I was here crying and having a pity party because there were no customers.

The first snow has fallen, and Christmas morning is close upon us. To awaken on Dec. 25 to a fresh white winter wonderland sounds perfect. We are spending the holidays at home anyway; no traveling this year. So a fresh blanket of snow and the stillness and beauty it brings don’t sound all that bad. Snow or no snow, I’ll grab a mug of hot chocolate, probably a few Christmas cookies I made and enjoy the day in pajamas.
I recently discovered hot chocolate bombs. Apparently, I’m late to the party on this one because they seem to be all over the internet. The bombs are basically a hollow chocolate shell filled with hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and even sprinkles if you like. They are a bit tricky to make since the process involves tempering chocolate, but in a pinch candy melts can be used, which don’t require as much precision to work with.
Today s show turned out to be much different than we had originally planned as we were looking forward to a special morning with our friends from CAIN. But.2020! They stayed home and continue to celebrate their #1 spot on the charts for Rise Up, while we played their Christmas tune, Celebrate Me Home.
And knowing that many will be celebrating Christmas differently, especially at home, we gave you some ideas for a Christmas table setting. Shared a few table topics, including a conversation on homesickness.
And while it was a temporary home, the manger played an important part in the story of Christmas. Bill takes a look at the manger scene as a symbol of Christmas.
