Ghirardelli Double Hot Chocolate Mocha, 10.5 Ounce

I adore this cocoa. It is so good, with a lovely mocha flavor. I mix it with milk, while my vegan son mixes it with soy milk. It is great either way. When my kids were young I bought cheap store brand cocoa mix for them, and kept this for myself, since they couldn't really appreciate it. Now they like it a lot. I used to get this at my local store, but they stopped carrying it during the pandemic. Then I sometimes ordered it from Ghirardelli directly, but honestly it is cheaper here on Amazon. It is not the least expensive cocoa mix, but it is definitely the best, especially if you like a mocha flavor. Directions: Fill your mug 1/2-way with milk & microwave about a minute. Add 2-3 spoonfuls of cocoa mix & stir in. Stir in more milk to fill it up, and add a few mini-marshmallows. Then microwave for another minute. (Obviously, adjust amounts & times for your mug & microwave.) This way the marshmallows get gooey, but don't disintegrate. And adding a tot of whiskey, rum or coffee liqueur at the end is super delicious, if you are so inclined.

I use this to make my own hot chocolate mix. It adds a deep rich chocolate flavor

Ghirardelli Chocolate Mocha remains my favorite chocolate, not only for making hot chocolate, but for adding to coffee for a great mocha coffee. It provides a terrific chocolate flavor while avoiding the overwhelming sugary sweet taste of so many other chocolate cocoa mixes and it dissolves very easily leaving only a small amount of residue at the bottom of the cup. Unlike some other mixes, the mix is a true powder in consistency and leaves no particulate like some mixes. One can actually taste the unique flavor and if one does prefer a sweeter taste, adding a little sugar works well. However, I have never needed to add anything. I have been using this for several years, starting when one could get this in the large can at very reasonable prices. My only disappointment has been the marked inflationary pricing to be found almost everywhere over the past couple of years. Usually, in fact, the best prices can be found at the Ghirardelli on-line site itself. Nevertheless, I have purchased the mix from this seller and one other at Amazon.com at prices tending in the $6.00 on average per bag, usually getting it in the 6 package lots for $32.00 to $36.00 price range. This is still a bit expensive, especially compared to several years ago, but much lower than other sellers who are price gouging currently. Do be sure to price check carefully. The taste and quality seem to have remained consistent. I gave it 5 stars because I am simply rating the flavor but if price was a greater concern, I would likely have rated it a 4 star, but the current price is not high enough to dissuade me from purchasing it. I know that flavor is a very subjective thing, but if you like a real mocha flavor that allows the chocolate taste to come through without the sweet taste favored by children, you will probably enjoy this as much as i do.

Got this because thr hot cocoa was far too sweet, the added flavor of coffee makes this perfect.

This is the best hot chocolate I’ve found. The mocha is delicious!

Excellent product. I add to my morning coffee for the perfect hint of mocha.

I love mixing a teaspoon of this in my coffee.

This is some of the best tasting hot chocolate mix I’ve ever had
