After my stint, a few weeks ago, trying out those rich, delicious and rather pricey single source drinking chocolates I feel compelled to try every other new hot chocolate mix I run into.
Penzey's Hot Chocolate Mix is $2.09 for a 4 oz. jar which is six servings.
available at Penzey stores and from their webstie (wwwpenzeys.com)
This mix has a light chocolate flavor with other flavors mixed in - there is cinnamon and vanilla. There is no chocolate in this mix only cocoa so that accounts for the thinner consistency... this drink is much less like drinking a melted chocolate bar. This is a more beverage like beverage. If you know what I mean.
I liked the taste of it, but I'm guessing not all chocolate lovers will. It is a sweet and spicy drink that is mostly chocolate flavored but the spices definitely change the experience - in a good way for me, but a purist might be distressed by the addition of anything to their chocolate moment. I would also like to point out that it is quite a bit less decadent - only has 1 gram of fat per serving - everything always tastes better without the added weight of guilt thrown-in.
