Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Zero complaints. I got tired of purchasing those smaller bags of Ghirardelli hot chocolate. The stuff I normally get is the "double chocolate" hot chocolate. I was looking on Amazon to see if they made something bigger than the smaller package I usually get, because I go through it quickly and it's not a very good deal. I then saw this. I was concerned because it wasn't the usual stuff I get, however it does say Ghirardelli... and it does say cocoa... so I figured what the hell why not try it. Even if it isn't as good, I'm sure it's still good, right? Well I was right. It is basically the same thing. I can't tell any noticeable difference between this and the "double chocolate" hot chocolate they sell. Oh and did I mention it's the best damn hot chocolate you can get? Seriously, I've tried it all. Including the terribly over-rated Starbucks hot chocolate (which by the way, is literally disgusting). This stuff is plenty sweet, but not too sweet, and the chocolate tastes just right. Definitely no need to add sugar like I did with, say, the Starbucks kind. This stuff mixes pretty well into the hot milk too. I usually put some milk in a cup, microwave it to get it warm (about 1:30 in case you were wondering - don't wanna get it boiling), then eyeball a couple teaspoons of this stuff. It says you should use 3 tablespoons per 8oz of milk but that is way too much and you don't need that much. I have a giant 20oz mug that I love using, and I use 3 heaping teaspoons of this stuff and that is more than enough. I could probably get away with just 2. Anyway, like I was saying, it mixes pretty well. Sometimes you get some hot chocolate that you make with milk and it doesn't really mix very well in with the milk. I haven't really had this problem. It does take a minute to stir up completely, but there aren't any chunks of hot chocolate at the bottom of the cup. Also, the date on this stuff is good. I bought mine in the middle of November 2015 and the date on it says March 2017.
