Editorial Review: Product Description: Ibarra sweet chocolate laced with cinnamon and covered in coarse sugar. A Novamex product. MEXICAN CHOCOLATE Serve your Mexican Chocolate with churros! INGREDIENTS 3.3 oz tablet of Mexican chocolate 2-1/2 cups milk 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon INSTRUCTIONS To make Mexican hot chocolate, break tablet of Mexican chocolate into pieces and bring it to a simmer with milk. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and well-combined. Mexican chocolate is traditionally beaten to a froth with a wooden implement called 'molinillo'. You can imitiate the effect by putting a small amount of your chocolate at a time in a blender and briefly pulsing it. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I love Ibarra!I always have a container of Ibarra in my pantry; I've enjoyed this product for many years. It puts regular hot chocolate to shame, and introduces a lovely layer of flavors into otherwise plain hot chocolate. I love it! Rating: - This is not your typical hot cocoa mix. It's much better!Love the package and the individually wrapped "cakes". Very visually appealing-would make a great gift. Please don't get turned off by hearing that you must chop or blend the cakes of chocolate before mixing in the milk then mix it all in a blender. Sure, you can do that and I'm sure the froth is wonderful however, give my method a try. It's super simple, I promise. First get a LARGE mug and fill with milk OR water.

Rating: - Consistant basic Mexican hot Chocolate you can dress upFirst off - this is not an "instant' product the way most americans expect Hot Cocoa products to be. It comes in cakes and must be ground either with a mortar & pestle or in a very sturdy grinder/blender. It is a basic recipe which suits the majority. Therefore, if you want it to be super spicy, you need to dress it up a bit. Follow the package instructions for best results but use a whisk. It needs to be made in a saucepan on top of the stove or in a Mr. Coffee Cocomotion machine.

I love hot chocolate, and look forward to trying new flavors and brands. I've never had "Mexican Chocolate", so maybe this is what it is supposed to be like, but I didn't like it at all. It was hard as a rock, tasteless, and messy. I followed the instructions of boiling some milk, chopping the chocolate in my blender, and mixing it together. It came out foamy, like one reviewer described, but I was surprised to find ... Read More |
