Sent this as a gift to my mother along with two beautiful brown coffee cups for Valentine's Day 2009... She not only brags to her friends about receiving the beautiful gift, but also shares the fabulous hot cocoa with them to whet their appetite!

I have tried many different brands of hot cocoa of varying prices. Cafe' Britt has my vote hands down since trying it while visiting Costa Rica. It has a smooth, dark flavor that mixes well and does not overpower your taste. It is definitely NOT a sweet, mild flavor and would probably not appeal to those who like milk chocolate and lighter chocolate taste...it is bold and dark and DELICIOUS.

This is very high grade, refined chocolate that comes packaged in a beautiful, elegant tin. It is a perfect hostess gift, or a thank you gift for just about anyone. I couldn't bear to throw out the tin when the chocolate mix was finished.

To date the finest hot chocolate mix I've encountered. All natural with a strong taste and pleasant aftertaste.

I drink this two ways: 1. As hot chocolate, with your usual assortment of marshmallows and Irish Cream. 2. As chocolate milk. As hot chocolate, this is the best overall hot chocolate I've had. I must have tried 20 different types ranging from super fancy to store brand - this is what I buy now. As chocolate milk, this mixes very well (compared to many other powders that clump a great deal), and gives a nice smooth drink.
