This is fabulous and it's what we drank when traveling in Cancun every morning. I just found it in our grocery and was thrilled to have it. I put the tablet in the blender and pulverize it (do one at a time, otherwise they melt). Then, you can pour the hot milk into the blender, or else I put it in a separate container and stir it into hot milk I've heated in the microwave. Each tablet makes about four cups. I'll add 1-2 heaping tablespoons. Yum!

It is the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted, the cinnamon is what makes it good

Real Mexican chocolate of any version will be much better than mass produced American chocolate simply because the cocoa content is much higher (as w/ European chocolate). This is REAL dark chocolate w/ a little spice and sugar. I do not think it requires any additional sugar when I make it since I want the dark chocolate flavor. I use a whisk and it comes out delicious. I think this is one of the best products Nestle makes and about the only one I consistently purchase. In fact I'm going to try the powder mix version for convenience, but since the chocolate will be further processed, it probably won't be as good. However, it also received positive reviews.

I'm angry that I didn't try this sooner. It beats the pants off of the powdered stuff in pre-measured packets, that's for sure! I love the hint of cinnamon. When I made the first batch, I thought that it may have a grainy feel, because it looks a little grainy, but it does not have a grainy mouthfeel at all. My husband was hesistant (he thinks cinnamon smells like armpits (???)), but anyway, he was in love with it, too. Wish I would have tried this many years ago!

A friend, who grew up in El Salvador, made some hot chocolate one night. We all wanted know what ingredients he'd used - we loved the drink! This was not the Quik of childhood.
I pop a piece into a large mug of skim milk - into the microwave for a bit/'til heated through. Mix w/ a small egg whisk and enjoy.

From Nestle comes Abuelita an excellent hot chocolate for those Fall and Wintry days. This is sugared dark chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. Each box comes with six tablets. The best way to serve is to heat four cups of milk, break up one tablet, put milk and chocolate in blender, and blend approximately one minute. I have the standard powdered hot chocolate in the cupboard but my kids seem to go for the Abuelita first. They add one broken tablet and milk into the Cocomotion and in a few minutes they are in hot chocolate heaven. Abuelita has a homemade dark chocolate taste that is not found in most conventional powdered brands. This a product that is well worth keeping on hand for those hot chocolate days.

When it came to hot chocolate my beverage used to be swiss miss. But after one cold morning of moving a hot tub I was rewarded with Abuelita. This hot cocoa has tastes of cinnamon and other spices. I like to add a bit of cayenne or chili powder to it, and it is just delicious.

I have never used this to make a hot chocolate drink, but it is my favorite chocolate to use in cookies. Chopped into chunks and mixed in the dough, it stands in for normal chocolate chips beautifully. The slightly grainy texture comes through the baking perfectly intact and creates a wonderful contrast with the chewy cookie. Try it! It's wonderful.

My daughter had been enjoying this hot chocolate while she was in California, and wanted to find it locally when she got home. We weren't able to find it in any of the stores, so ordered it here. It arrived quickly, was well-packed, and the product was fresh. This Mexican hot chocolate is much more flavorful than the regular kinds, and we're looking forward to enjoying it all winter!

This is NOT hot chocolate in the classic sense. This is a hot, chocolate beverage not to be wasted on young children or adults lacking taste buds. You have to be someone that really ENJOYS flavors, textures, etc. to get the difference or you might as well stir up some swiss miss.
