5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hot Cocoa Ever!, January 14, 2011

After hearing rumors about full fat, dutch processed cocoa powder, and sick to death of the anemic offerings by Hershey's, etc., I took a chance and ordered the 1kg bag of the Callebaut brand of dutch processed cocoa. They sent me this brand instead, along with a note stating it's the exact same product, just different packaging.

I use this stuff *exclusively* to make hot cocoa, using 2% milk and either dark brown sugar or blue agave syrup, depending on my mood. Trust me; I'll NEVER go back to regular cocoa again. The dark chocolate contains more antioxidants and is more flavorful than the bleached Hershey's offerings, and I use less than half the sugar one would normally put in cocoa (about two tablespoons per 10oz mug).

My recipe: Into 12oz warm milk (just past drinking temperature, NEVER boiled) add two tablespoons dark cocoa powder, and 1-2 tablespoons (level) dark brown sugar (to taste) OR one tablespoon agave syrup. Stir. Add vanilla or cinnamon if desired (not required).

A much healthier, and MUCH TASTIER alternative to the powder packets on sale at the supermarket.

Starbucks wishes it had cocoa this good. **IT DOESN'T**

I made my mouse with this instead of Hershey's special dark cocoa, it mixed more smoothly and the mouse was great. It was not as dark as the Hershey's in-between the regular cocoa that I make milk chocolate mouse with and the special dark chocolate that I make the dark mouse with. The recipe is so easy, its on the special dark cocoas box. 2/3 cups of cocoa, 1 cup sugar, 1 pkg gelatin (mix 1/4 cup of water with gelatin,& add 1/3 cup boiling water to it) 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 2 cups of heavy cream. ( I use 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2). You just add the cocoa, sugar (reg or Splenda) the vanilla & mix on low - then add the cream until it is stiff or peaking - add the gelatin mixture and pour into containers! refrigerate for 1/2 hour and enjoy!

I mix it with non fat plain yoghurt and stevia for a delicious "chocolate pudding."

Can't wait to start cooking with it.
