Double Dark Hot Chocolate Mix - Vegan, Organic, Gluten and Dairy Free - Lightly Sweetened Gourmet Hot Cocoa with Ethically Sourced Cacao - 8oz Bag Makes 9 Servings

I’m a barista and a chocolate connoisseur- this chocolate is NEXT LEVEL. Rich dark delicious thick did I mention dark? This ain’t no Swiss miss just add hot water. This is real gourmet cocoa this is what the royalty of the Olmecs drank. When the ancient Olmecs drank chocolate, it was very thick due to the natural methods of grinding the cacao beans and virtually no amount of processing like we have today, so I very much appreciate the authenticity. No ones going to blame you if you can’t handle it, it might just be too rich for those who are used to mom’s Swiss miss. I did agree with other reviews it doesn’t dissolve, but I fixed that by mixing a bit of boiling water, once it became a chocolate syrup I added steamed milk and topped with Hammonds gourmet marshmallows, and sprinkled some cinnamon for that real Mexican cocoa experience!

Very rich. Very chocolate. Very different from the store-bought hot cocoa trash. Try this and you'll never look back. This thing is not sweet as all.

I love a good cup of hot chocolate, but try to limit my sugar intake. I liked that this mix was lower in sugar, but without fake sweeteners (which all taste weird to me). Overall, it's very delicious--rich and dark and chocolatey, just as you want in a cocoa that's called "double dark." The only problem is, as many have noted, it does not mix well. I've tried a couple of methods, but had no success. I first made the cocoa in the prescribed ratio (I wanted less than a cup, so did 2/3 of a cup of milk with 2 tablespoons), putting the powder into the milk and stirring it up. It was very rich, and when I got to the bottom of the cup there was a lot of residue at the bottom. However, unlike a lot of cocoas, the "residue" here wasn't grit, but lumps of actual melted chocolate which had fallen to the bottom. Delicious, but annoying. The next time I made it, I thought I'd put less of the powder in, so 2/3 of a cup of liquid and 1 tablespoon, hoping to give the mix a better chance of integrating. I began by mixing up a tiny bit of very-hot milk with the powder until it looked very dissolved and incorporated, and then I poured in the rest of the milk and stirred it around. There was still a lot of chocolate at the bottom. So. It's absolutely yummy, and a little even goes a long way, but when you get to the end you'll want to have a spoon handy.

This hot chocolate is terrible ! You have to use 3 tablespoons full of ait to even get it to taste like hot chocolate. My opinion is for the price verses how much you have to use us not worth buying .

Pretty good, but not quite what I'd hoped for.

GOOD STUFF, not too sweet

Wanted to like it, I couldn’t stand the flavor. Very personal though. I do love their simple double hot chocolate (which other reviews stated they didn’t like the flavor and I love it!) - and add my mushroom tinctures to that!

Holiday season and cold weather means plenty of sweets and carbs, so this offsets high sugar content with satisfying taste from a hot beverage. I love dark chocolate with low sugar content. Bought Raaka 85% dark chocolate bars, so this was a delightful discovery.
