Ghirardelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa Mix, Chocolate Hazelnut, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 4)

Good stuff Used to buy this locally, but now none of the stores carry it. So, I started ordering it online. It makes a great cup of cocoa if you like hazelnut flavor and it dissolved readily in hot milk. A teaspoon added to a cup of coffee adds a nice accent, too.

Great Hot chocolate! I love this Hot Chocolate, and how great that it's from this wonderful company! Used to be able to get this flavor at my local supermarket, but for some reason they no longer stock the chocolate hazelnut, so I'm happy to at least be able to get it online.

Just ok I had really high hopes. I really enjoy Ghiradelli chocolate and I love hazelnut, so I thought this was perfect for me. But honestly, I thought it was just ok, so I was really disappointed. I'll definitely finish it, but I wouldn't buy it again, nor would I recommend it.

Recipe: Hot Choc for Grown-Ups Heat 8-10 oz 2% or whole milk, not quite to boiling, in your microwave. Add ~1-1/4 rounded teaspoons of Ghirardelli Mocha Hot Choc powder + ~1-1/8 rounded teaspoons of Ghirardelli Hazelnut Hot choc powder, stirring to fully mix. Now add ~3/4 oz Christian Brothers VS Brandy. (Optionally) garnish with whipped cream or a small accent of vanilla ice cream and serve. Notes: Not to be a brand whore, but Christian Bros (VS, not the more expensive VSOP) is the only brandy I've found to really have the right profile for this recipe. Exact proportions for all 4 ingredients should ultimately be to your own taste. Non-fat and 1% milk are NOT recommended. The brandy should contribute its flavor but not be so strong as to have an obvious alcoholic note. I've for many years used a 1.0 Mocha + 1.5 Hazelnut ratio, but lately the Mocha product hasn't seemed as intense, so I've adjusted. You'll know it's right when the mocha + hazelnut + brandy flavors are in such balance that none is too dominant -- the result will be a new experience "greater than the sum of its parts."

Yum! Best. Hot chocolate. Ever. Seriously. Especially if you like your chocolate with a little hazelnut mixed in. Rating: 5 (Ghirardelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa Mix, Chocolate Hazelnut, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 4) customer review by JB, 2009-10-24)
