If you're a fan of Mexican Hot Chocolate, you're going to love this original award-winning recipe creation!
It's a delicious blend of couverture-grade Belgian milk chocolate, hot cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and a swirl of couverture 28% white chocolate. We found the perfect flavor balance...it's sweet, but not too sweet...it's hot, but not too hot. Sure to be a hit!
We didn't invent the concept of Mexican Hot Chocolate...but we believe our take on it is sure to please!
As of 2025, ALL our chocolate creations are made from Couverture-grade chocolate
- The top tier of chocolate
commercially available worldwide (generally used for enrobing truffles,
bonbons, and more exotic chocolates) it has
higher cocoa butter content relative to other ingredients for
silky-smooth and creamy melt and mouth feel, and it's
noted for a deeper and more full-bodied flavor. It's a blend of cocoa
beans from Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador and sustainably-sourced.
Q: Why did the price of this item double?
A:
There is a cocoa bean crop shortage in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire (which
produce 60% of the world's cocoa beans). This has caused the largest
price increases in the global chocolate supply chain in the past 60
years. See this article for more details. To have it still be worth even offering chocolates, our prices have had to rise accordingly.
