Castle Kitchen Double Decadent Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix-Dairy-Free, Vegan, Plant Based, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher Hot Chocolate-Just Add Water-14 oz Tin

The Flavor: If you’re tired of the thin, overly sugary taste of "cheap" grocery store packets, this is the upgrade you’ve been looking for. The flavor is incredibly rich and deeply chocolatey without being overpowering. You can tell it’s made with quality cocoa and fewer "filler" ingredients than the budget brands. ​ My Preparation Hack: While the directions suggests water, I’ve found the absolute sweet spot: half 2% milk and half water. * The milk provides that essential creaminess and body. ​ Consistency is Key: One of my biggest pet peeves with premium mixes is when they clump or leave a thick layer of un-dissolved "mud" at the bottom of the mug. This mix dissolves incredibly easily and consistently. ​ Final Verdict: 5 Stars. It’s a decadent treat that actually feels like a gourmet cafe drink at home. It’s worth the extra couple of dollars to get a smooth, clean finish in every cup.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this DF hot chocolate. I've had some disappointing samples in the past. Nevermore! I used oat milk to mix this heavenly brew. With little effort, this powder quietly dissolved in my holiday mug with little mixing needed. When I took my first sip of this gloriously decadent, rich, smooth delight meant to bring comfort to the holders of the sacred cup of cocoa, I was transported to a magical place where every house is blanketed in snow and has a crackling fire and overstuffed couch perfectly spaced as to not overheat while you sit in the wavering firelight with no care in the world. This is well worth your time.

This hot chocolate is amazing! I have lactose intolerance and cannot digest the milk in regular hot chocolate. This product is an amazing substitute! Just adding water, it's rich and decadent. You stir it into hot water and a rich foam forms on the top. Once you sip off the foam, the dark chocolate is below and looks like coffee. This product is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this product, especially to those who are lactose intolerant and miss hot chocolate!

This Coco was OK. Wasn’t my favorite, but the taste was good mixes easily a little bit more pricey than I would like.

Pleasantly surprised by how good this is! I love hot chocolate but am bothered by dairy, so I’ve been searching for something that would allow me to enjoy without discomfort later. I will be buying this again! My husband - who has no dairy issues - went straight from drinking his Swiss Miss with whole milk to trying this and was even impressed by the taste! I’ve made this both with lactose free milk and oat milk and had good results with both. Haven’t tried with water because I like the creamier texture.

Good product. Mixes well. Tastes very good.

I don't plan to buy this again. The flavor doesn't nearly match up to the name: Double Dutch DARK Chocolate PREMIUM Hot Cocoa Mix. Didn't have a dark chocolate flavor, and it didn't seem "premium" enough to charge $14. Get some Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa and make your own. A little sugar, maybe a drop of vanilla, whatever milk you use, and voila. Drop in a candy cane or a cinnamon stick, or add some marshmallows if you like. But THIS was a double disappointment: The product AND the price.

This is the best cocoa I have ever enjoyed. So creamy and delicious. It reminds me of a fine Belgium chocolate. Woolf live to see a sugar free option.

Nice texture—smooth and creamy. Despite the name “dark chocolate,” it’s not bitter at all and is actually quite sweet. Very enjoyable overall. I just wish it were available in a bigger size

Amazing vegan hot chocolate

Ok this product was WAY TOO GOOD FOR ITS OWN GOOD!!! >.< I awaited eagerly for this parcel to arrive as I live in a isolated area with limited vegan goods like this. As the universe will have it a good friend of my fiancés was coming to visit for a bit. We had discussed beverage preferences in the past and I knew he said he didn't drink hot chocolate typically because it had a weird taste to him. Ok, beauty! Winter is here! I'm going to have nice vegan hot chocolate for daaaaaaays!!!!! NO!!!! NO!!! This hot chocolate our friend decided to try - 1 cup.............HIS EYES FLEW WIDE AND HE EXCLAIMED IN SHOCK "THIS IS AMAZING WOW"..............he had 3 cups a day for 4 days........I drank 1 because I like to savor such items.......to my amusement and shock I am now staring at the bottom of the can.........in awe and anger that this product was so incredible that it unknowingly gained a HUGE fan instantly. He whirlwind threw my supply......... So I told him next order is on him :) BOMB BOMB BOMB so good!! Also makes delicious mocha and latte....anything.....it's just delicious ***start low and go slow adding in, rich full flavor***NOT overly sweet <3 <3

Excellent flavor. Really rich. Probably it won't happen to everyone but it did flare up my gout. I made myself suffer twice to confirm it! Everyone is different, hopefully it doesn't cause this issue to anyone else. Truly blows for me, as I was looking forward to continuing with this product.

Great hot chocolate. I have given as gifts. I also use it to sprinkle on top of latte's.
