Premium Hot Cocoa Envelopes, Rich chocolate, 22.7 Ounce (Pack of 15)

Picky about my hot chocolate and this one is

So relaxing to enjoy in the evening. Great flavor. Will order again.

Deep, rich chocolate taste. Convenient packets for perfect measurement every time.

I absolutely love this particular cocoa. Perfect alone or in my morning coffee.

When you want to splurge, or impress that someone with your hot chocolate selection, you really cannot go wrong with this offering from Ghirardelli. Forget Swiss-Miss, Ovaltine, or other lesser chocolate mixes that may satiate the young and underdeveloped pallet, this powder is for grown-ups who know what they want. What really separates this hot chocolate from the rest? Besides name brand recognition, the number one reason that makes this powder a little different is that they have thought to include real milk derivatives, meaning that even if you absentmindedly use water to make your hot cocoa, the milky ingredients will mask your sin against chocolate, and the end result will still taste milk based. Just do yourself a favor, and use at least whole milk, or some sort of luxurious lactose based liquid. Or soy if you're of that particular persuasion. Each satchel packs 170 calories, so this isn't the place to be cutting back. This is to be enjoyed, so go nuts, Half & Half works great. Light cream works just as well. Now, to cover the real glory of this magical powder. The packaging even suggests what I am about to blow your mind with, and for me this sealed the deal. Ready? Instead of using water, use COFFEE. Yes. I said it. This isn't just for hot cocoa, and if you are spending this much money on a childhood memory, seriously put your credit card down and see a therapist. However, for the adults among us, check this out. If you use coffee, you just made one of the world's best mochas. I've been doing this for years, and finally someone has tipped off the people at Ghirardelli. Ok, now down to some stats (also in photo): Net weight per packet: 43.2g (they give you an extra .2g to make it an even 1.5 oz (take that metric system!))

Best hot chocolate ever-was a gift for my girlfriend for watching my cat-she loved it!!!

Good for those cold days when hot chocolate is needed

It is the best store-bought hot chocolate ever! Very chocolatey and smooth. No funny after taste or smell! I love it!

I had my first packet yesterday. I mixed it with a black cup of coffee. I put little dehydrated marshmallows on top. The result - the best (home brewed) café mocha EVER! I'm definitely serving this to guests during the holidays

Très bon chocolat chaud, j'achetais le Godiva qui était excellent, il est discontinué, j'en ai cherché d'autres marques et finalement celui qui s'y approche le plus est celui-ci .

I loved the flavour of this hot chocolate. So good with whipped cream on top. I'd buy this again definately.

Very creamey hot chocolate mix, easy to mix, we usually mix half and half water and milk, a satisfying treat on a chilly day!

Great taste
