Hot Chocolate
 

Stephen's has a fine hot chocolate I found at Sam's Club called Stephens Gourmet Candycane Cocoa. I recommend it to any HC lovers out there. Anybody else have any favorite Hot Chocolates?

I agree Stephen's hot sipping cocoa is the best (they also have a factory in Utah)

Pero and Postum are my hot drinks of choice.

I've never had either. Do they taste like coffee?

Whatever kind they serve at Starbucks is the best. I assume it is a Starbucks brand?

The CandyCane Cocoa is a fine blend. They use real bits of Candy Cane in the cocoa. It is a nice blend of Cocoa and Candy Cane. I'd recommend it.

They are headquartered in Utah.

I like the Godiva dark chocolate. There's also a good brand called Lake Champlain that sells a blend of dark chocolate mixed with spices like cayenne pepper.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard Schokinag extra dark drinking chocolate is good. I like my hot chocolate not too sweet, and very dark.

They at least smell like coffee. I haven't tried actual coffee that I remember.

The darker the better.

The best is from a place in Portland called Cacao. You want to get a shot of either the dark drinking chocolate or the dark drinking chocolate with cayenne.

BOO! the very best hot chocolate you can buy is from Tim Horton's its the best thing about living so close to Canada

Indeed! Vive la Canada ... vive Tim Hortons!

I like Tim Horton's. Their breakfast bagels are pretty good. I think all donuts are pretty overrated, but TH donuts aren't too bad. My kid likes the TimBits.

I don't like Postum but I like Pero very much. We used to give it to investigators to help them stop drinking coffee. I remember giving it to one guy who said it tasted great but he was so damn tired all day.

I like the Stephen's very much. The best I've ever had was from a member who gave us some home made cocoa mix in a mason jar for Christmas. It was very dark and rich. Sweet but not chocolaty.

LOL. I haven't been able to find either here in MS. I don't mind hot cocoa so much, but I guess for the calories, I'd much rather eat my chocolate.

I have both postum and pero. Which I mainly use to mix with natural vanilla bean ice cream.

Postum has a crystally texture, and is therefore crunchy when you mix it. Pero is a powder which mixes much more smoothly.

FWIW.

I'm partial to Moonstruck Mexican Hot Cocoa. Some might say it's a bit spendy, but then I light my cigars with thousand dollar bills so I guess spendy is relative.
They're out of Portland also.
