Equal Exchange Organic Dark Hot Chocolate, 12 Ounce

Delicious! I just use 2 tbls, half the serving size to make a yummy hot cocoa before bed. I add my magnesium to it and it helps me get to sleep. Great quality.

From hot cocoa, to my morning mocha, this is a kitchen staple in my home. I love that it not only tastes amazing, but the quality ingredients take it to the next level. First of all, I so enjoy scooping this out of the round container, rather than a plastic bag! Way less messy! The serving size is quite generous, and I’m able to only use half of what’s recommended, which then of course lets it last a bit longer. Even at half, it’s amazing how little the sugar content is for such a creamy, chocolaty product!

Good dark chocolate flavor

Tasted okay but not my favorite

Awesome hot chocolate! Great flavor, good price!

My husband loved chocolate and introduced me to dark chocolates which have antioxidants and as he was a food chemist told me the chocolate was actually good for you if you use the dark chocolate. When we were in his homeland in Australia near Nagamby which is north of Melbourne we were taken to a chocolate candy and hot chocolate shop in the middle of the outback. I ordered a hot chocolate that was spicy. When I asked the owners how spicy it was, they told me that it was as spicy as I wanted after it was served. I was to stir the chocolate a bit and take a taste and if I wanted it spicier to stir it more and it would get more spicy. And it did work that way. I was enchanted and tried to find it when I came home to the United States. On a subsequent trip when I visited the Chocolate Museum in Cologne, Germany, I purchased some Heilmann’s Chocolate that had chilies in it and decided to try it in my hot chocolate on the ship we were traveling on the Danube River. It was perfect if I put one or two tiny squares of the chili flavored chocolate in the hot chocolate that I made.When I came home I tried to find more Heilmann’s Chocolate only to eventually learn that they were not certified to sell their products in the United States. (As an aside, I tried another’s company’s chili infused chocolate in my hot chocolate but it had no effect at all-a surprise. Therefore, the search to find Heilmann’s.) But I finally did find this Equal Exchange Organic Spicy Hot Chocolate in a specialty shop. Though I’m not able to use it straight as it’s a bit too spicy by itself, I use the Dark Chocolate mix from Swiss Miss and put a heaping teaspoon of the spicy mix in the cup to make a wonderfully rich and spicy hot chocolate.It last very long if needed in the tin and retains its flavor. So purchasing three at a time is no problem. I love it.

I enjoy a nightly treat of a cup of non-dairy hot chocolate. I have been enjoying the non-dairy Swiss Miss. I saw this and figured that it would be richer and more enjoyable. I was so wrong. I made this with extra creamy oat milk. I couldn't wait to finish the cup and honestly I wish I had just dumped it. It was not good. The taste is a bitter and as much as I expect some bitterness with dark chocolate, I figured that it would be balanced here. It is not. It is a lingering bitterness that just did not leave the palate. Also, the product did not fully want to dissolve in the HOT milk. It mixed but not fully. Not the biggest of deals there but it was a factor. I really like the ease of hot water with the Swiss Miss. I had thought of trying this with hot water but I can only imagine it would be so much worse than it is with the milk. Sorry to say that this was a waste of money for me. Not sure if there is anything I can do with the rest of the product, but I highly doubt I will be making another cup of hot chocolate with it again. I hate leaving negative reviews so I am giving this three stars but honestly, I really think it only deserves one.

This is REALLY deep in chocolate flavor, even when using less chocolate than instructed. This is a good thing btw lol. A full cup was actually too much for me, so I refrigerated the rest. OMG it's so good cold. Thick and yummy. I dipped a banana into it and wow!
