Most amazing hot chocolate ever
This chocolate has spoiled me for all other hot chocolate. Wonderfully rich, intense, and complex. The taste of chocolate is so saturated, especially in the darker varieties, and it is also a bit fruity, a bit nutty, a bit acidic--a party of taste notes! The mouthfeel is so unctuous without being cloying or too thick. I prepare it using a microwave shortcut I learned for making Puerto Rican hot chocolate:
1. Break a disc into pieces into a mug
2. Add a little bit of water to cover the pieces
3. Microwave on high for 45 seconds
4. Stir until completely mixed
5. Add 6 oz milk
6. Microwave for ca. 45 seconds on high
7. Whisk with a small metal whisk for extra frothiness (or stir with spoon).
The most amazing beverage. I would drink it everyday if it weren't for the price and the calories.
As for taste, the Vanilla and Dark are the most intense. The Salted Almond and Cinnamon are milder (and the Salted Almond is more of a milk chocolate). Haven't tried the others yet. Wish I could have a lifetime supply!
