Who Has The Best Hot Chocolate In Utah?

So last year Chris and I decided to go to every restaurant or gas station in the Northern Utah area that offers Hot Chocolate. We decided to go to these restaurants because we were on a HUNT to find the BEST hot chocolate and choose which place sells the best Hot Chocolate. So far we have been to these locations: (1) Kneaders (2) The Chocolate (3) Starbucks (4) Maverick (5) I hop (6) Paradise Bakery (7) Zupas (8) Great Harvest (9) McDonalds (10) Coca Bean (11) and Dennys

How is the Hot Chocolate Judged?

The hot chocolate is judged on these four guidelines:
Taste- Does the Hot Chocolate have enough chocolate in it? Does the Hot Chocolate have too much hot chocolate? Out of 10 points
Whipped Cream- Does the whipped cream taste like it came out of the store? Or does it taste like it is home made? Does the hot chocolate come with a lot of whipped cream? Or does it not come with any or little? Based out of 10 points
Temperature-How hot is the Hot Chocolate? does it burn your mouth when you drink it? Is it too cold? Based out of 10 points
Look-Does the Hot Chocolate look like it doesn't taste very good? Or does it look like it looks too good to drink? Out of 10 points
Price- Is the hot chocolate too expensive? Or Is the hot chocolate too cheap? Based out of 10 points

So far Chris and I have judged Dennys as the Best Hot Chocolate in Utah
The second and very close competitor was The Chocolate- The only thing the Hot Chocolate missed was the Whipped Cream part- They didn't hardly have any :(

Starbucks-Tastes like water-Way too hot-Whipped cream taste like it came from a store
Maverick- Their hot chocolate has too much chocolate in it-I can only drink half of it because it is too sweet- they also don't have any whipped cream-you can't have hot chocolate without the whipped cream
Coca Bean-Surprisingly their hot chocolate was gross-it taste like water
McDonalds-Had pretty good hot chocolate but it had a coffee taste to it and not enough chocolate in it (no it was not coffee)

This next year Chris and I will travel to other potential winners of the Hot Chocolate Contest
If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment! Make sure you describe why the hot chocolate is the best!
