Checkout the cute ghost face the barrista drew for me in my Spicy Hot Cocoa. I took the pic with my cell phone camera so the colors are not as vibrant as the real thing. But man-o-man this cup of heaven is made with chocolate from Venezuela and it is really divine. It's my top splurge treat. I get my fix at one of my favorite cafes, Coupa Cafe in Palo Alto near Stanford University. As well, I have a tin of the cocoa mix at home.
You can buy cans of this hot chocolate at most gourmet stores and cafes, or directly from the maker Chuao Chocolatier on their website. The cocoa comes in 3 flavors Winter, Spicy Maya, and Abuela, and I am telling you it is THE BEST hot chocolate I have ever had. My world is blissful when I drink this cocoa. Truly!
One tip, if you buy the cocoa and make it at home you have to make it in a pot because there are chunks of chocolate in the mix, and the chunks do not melt well in the microwave. At home, I usually make my hot chocolate using rice milk, and it tastes just as good as a non-fat milk version.
I'm telling you. If you love chocolate, this cocoa is a must try.
