Lake Champlain Chocolates Traditional Hot Chocolate, 16 ozUSDA OrganicFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade Certified

This is my absolute favorite hot chocolate mix. I have tried numerous hot chocolate mixes over the years and I'm very picky and this is my favorite. I do like a very chocolatey mix where you can really taste the chocolate and this delivers. It dissolves very easily in the milk and is so delicious. Since I prefer a richer more chocolatey flavor, I add more mix into mine. But when I make it for my partner I have less mix because he likes a less chocolatey flavor. So I like that it has versatility for both of us. I love to make it and dip cookies in it which is also quite yummy. You can also add some marshmallows on the top for some nice flavor. Also as weird as it sounds, I have to take daily collagen powder and I mix it into my hot chocolate. The collagen powder is unflavored and you don't taste it at all in the hot chocolate. I have found that if I ordered this or buy this at my local whole foods it is cheaper than ordering directly off of Amazon. I highly recommend this!

Works Great For Baking Too. I read, for lower oxalate chocolate cake, use a hot cocoa mix, with sugar as the first ingredient. I used a few teaspoons of this, along with coffee, substituted for water… and some chocolate extract, to make a lower oxalate, chocolate cake.(I believe the source was on a celiac disease website and the article was written by an expert on low oxalates baking. “Try Low Oxalates TLO” group.) the article was from celiac . Com.I used a gluten free, garbanzo bean flour, and It turned out pretty good.My husband likes it in his coffee, and says it blends well.I must admit, I ordered it by mistake and tried to cancel it…but I was too late. I did not think I would be able to use it, since I thought I was reacting to oxalates. Amazon could not do a return, I was going to donate it… then I found that article, when I was trying to figure out what to eat.There is soo much confusion and conflicting information on low oxalate diets; but from what I read, this could be an option to use for baking.I like that it is made with Organic and fair trade ingredients. My husband likes the flavor.

My recipient liked hot chocolate and I perused the options on Amazon and other websites. I have ordered Lake Champlain Chocolates in the past and knew they were delicious so I decided to try their hot chocolate as a gift. The feed back I received was that she liked the hot chocolate a lot, so I would order again.

...realized that an "acquired taste" is just fancy talk for "absolutely disgusting". I'm giving the company the benefit of the doubt here. I'm a nice guy. Mostly anyway. This hot cocoa just isn't for me. I like my Hot Chocolate to taste like actual chocolate, not bland brown water from a mop bucket. And believe me, I really tried. One scoop, then two, then three, then ten. Still, just no hint of chocolate anywhere.But we're all different and we all have different tastes. And I can't speak for everyone. I can only speak for myself. A lot of people live by this stuff. I'm just not one of them.I'm still giving a four star review. Because I'm nice. Mostly.

Has a lovely bitter-sweet real chocolaty flavor. If you want a “hot cocoa” - this is it. I’m pretty picky about my hot chocolate drinks, and this one is the best of all the other brands I tried.

The flavor is somewhat disappointing. To achieve a decent chocolate taste, you need to use a significant amount. I usually prefer to use half a packet of the traditional hot coco, which goes much further than this does with the same quantity.

I love finding my favorite foods on Amazon. I no longer live in the NorthEast, but being able to have a wonderful cup of hot cocoa is always the goal. No need to add sugar, this hot chocolate mix is perfectly chocolatey and sweet.

You know something is going on when someone who usually reaches for a Remy Martin in the evening opts out instead for a hot chocolate. Especially since that someone never even liked hot chocolate to begin with.This is the best hot chocolate I've bought. The flavor is amazing, the Aztec spicy is amazing as well. Definitely worth the try if you like the first one. I went to their website, Amazon is a little cheaper. The price is a bit crazy, but I liked it so much that I buy one before the previous one finishes. I have served it to guests who have wowwed over it. It is high calorie of course, if you can get yourself to follow their directions, which involves putting a lot more hot chocolate in a tiny amount of milk, then you will get amazing results. I feel guilty about so much sugar, and so sometimes I make it a little more dilute. The richer the milk is the better it will taste. Not always a good idea for health reasons. I give my kids sparingly because of the high sugar rush.If you can afford it, highly recommend.
