Blanxart Chocolate a la Taza Powder for Thick Spanish Hot Chocolate (7 oz/200 g)

So bummed! The package was broken, there was powder everywhere, and I cannot get a new one of my money back. Literally, money down the drain. Gave it two stars because it smelled really good. Too bad I can’t actually taste it!

When I went to Barcelona, this hot chocolate was served in special cafes and is typical of the region, and perhaps of Catalonia. This hot chocolate is just that--hot chocolate. It's not like the milky French version or the Dutch or even the Belgium versions. This packet contains a rice binder with the chocolate powder that lets one heat up the chocolate on the stove top with milk (slowly) until it thickens to a desired consistency. Be generous with the chocolate powder in terms of serving size. I usually put 4-5 Tablespoons in one cup of milk. To make it true to the Spanish tradition, serve it with fresh whipping cream on top and serve with madeline cookies or plain croissants. Dip as needed!

Worth the price. Awesome treat that will transport you too the best "granja" you can imagine.Add 1 quart/liter of milk for thick chocolate

This chocolate is the very best quality you can get. You need to keep stirring the pot until it thickens. It is not immediate, it will take at least 5 minutes of continuous stirring, just like cooking bechamel sauce. Dunk some churros in it and enjoy a fabulous treat!

I bought this as a gift after traveling to Spain...they Loved it!!

Delicious authentic Spanish hot cocoa! A little pricey for the amount you get, but I will definitely buy it again!

Spanish chocolate is marvelous for a delicious cup of hot chocolate when one needs to recharge their batteries or for a relaxing restful drink in the evening, this is the chocolate.

A very insipid, way too sweet product. It didn't get properly thick either, despite my careful, best efforts. Nothing like the real thing I've had in Spain.
