First off - this is not an "instant' product the way most americans expect Hot Cocoa products to be. It comes in cakes and must be ground either with a mortar & pestle or in a very sturdy grinder/blender. It is a basic recipe which suits the majority. Therefore, if you want it to be super spicy, you need to dress it up a bit. Follow the package instructions for best results but use a whisk. It needs to be made in a saucepan on top of the stove or in a Mr. Coffee Cocomotion machine.
Grind the cakes in advance for maximum convenience and use 1 and a half times the recommended amount for best results. Use whole milk for best results or 2%. Skim milk just doesn't work as well. For a spicier mug of cocoa, add ground chili powder to taste. You can also add a piece of vanilla bean while cooking if you like that. If you want even more cinnamon taste, you can cook with a cinnamon stick. You can add espresso powder as well for a nice change of pace. Instant coffee will do in a pinch plus that's a good way to get rid of intsant coffee!
It's best to try a few mugs of Ibarra before you decide to spice it up. The flavor will grow on you. If you don't feel like paying the shipping fees, ask your grocer if they carry this item. Most chain grocery stores with a Hispanic section do carry Ibarra.

...and yet another recipe, even easier: Pour as much of whatever milk you like into a microwaveable mug. Drop in 1/4 of a disc. Microwave until YOUR microwave gets it as hot as you like. Stir with a spoon (the chocolate will be all nice and melty) until it mixes up. Kids might appreciate one extra tsp. of sugar, but I like it like this. Good, good stuff. Abuelita is good too, but this just that much better.

There is nothing better than Ibarra hot chocolate! But all you really have to do is put two wedges of the chocolate, roughly chopped, into the blender with a cup of hot milk and frappe it. No simmering needed! (I nuke the milk.) Mmm, foamy and delicious!

Bad chocolate
I received this product faster than anticipated which was the only plus to the product. The chocolate was old, crumbly and already turning white. Read more

NOT chocolate: FALSE LIST OF INGREDIENTS
Extremely disappointed in this product. It barely tastes of cinnamon at all and is downright gross. My main complaint, however, is that it's not chocolate at all. Read more

Not what I expected.
Somewhere I must have missed the wording BAR. The item as a bar did not work for my uses. The taste was restrictive in use. Other than that great product.

Yummy and frothy with an Aerolatte
I love this stuff. I nuke a mug a milk until it's very hot, drop in 2 of the triangles, stir until the chocolate melts, then froth it with my Aerolatte. Simple and tasty.
