Gourmet Food : Ibarra Mexican Chocolate, 18.6 oz

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A few corrections
I just wanted to correct what some of the other reviews are saying:

A. It's not an "acquired" taste, that kids will probably not like:
I grew up with Ibarra, it was a once in a blue moon treat. I loved it as a kid and preferred it to Swiss Miss or Nestle or any other hot chocolate.

B. Although I'm sure you can make Ibarra hot chocolate with a blender I have never once seen someone make it like that. It's really simple:
Take two wedges and melt them in a cup or so of milk (any kind) or water and just whisk it or use a wooden spoon.

Ibarra is may favorite hot chocolate. I've introduced others to it and they've never had a bad thing to say!

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. Nuke in the microwave for a minute or two. Place the entire chocolate "cake" slowly into the cup so it drops to the bottom. Let sit for a minute then with your spoon gently stir it around. The chocolate melts very quickly and easily. Now enjoy! The package does not say to use the whole cake but with a large cappucino mug, it was the perfect amount.

As for the reviewer who thought kids may not like it, I have to share that my 5 and 8 yr olds loved it!

One last thing, I bought mine (same size) at the regular grocery store for less than $4.

- Hot chocolate for grown-ups
This is definitely an acquired taste. Children probably won't like it. It isn't, strictly speaking, sweet. It tastes more the way chocolate naturally tastes--or maybe you can think of it as the chocolate that the old Aztec kings drank. The overriding flavor is a cinnamon-y spiciness. I think it's great.

Rating:

- Consistant basic Mexican hot Chocolate you can dress up
First 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.

Grind the cakes in advance for maximum convenience and use 1 and a half times the recommended amount for best results. Use whole milk for best results or 2%. Skim milk just doesn't work as well. For a spicier mug of cocoa, add ground chili powder to taste. You can also add a piece of vanilla bean while cooking if you like that. If you want even more cinnamon taste, you can cook with a cinnamon stick. You can add espresso powder as well for a nice change of pace. Instant coffee will do in a pinch plus that's a good way to get rid of intsant coffee!

It's best to try a few mugs of Ibarra before you decide to spice it up. The flavor will grow on you. If you don't feel like paying the shipping fees, ask your grocer if they carry this item. Most chain grocery stores with a Hispanic section do carry Ibarra.

Try a Better Pizza! Better Pasta! Better Sandwiches!

We know that you've tried many kinds of pizza, at many different places, and you just haven't yet been satisfied.

Our pizza is just a little different. Just a little better, because it's hand made with better quality ingredients than you can find anywhere else. The finest, smooth-texture, real Wisconsin cheeses. Fresher, better-quality savory meats. Zesty, perfectly-spiced sauce. Hand-selected fresh vegetable toppings. You can taste that difference.

And a secret Italian family dough recipe that gives you the perfect crust when baked in our authentic Brick Ovens. A crust that's crisp and perfectly browned on the bottom, but with just the right amount of mouth-teasing softness as the crust rises to meet the delicious sauce and toppings.

Have you had enough of the big-chain pizza? Try our pizza. And our superb Italian Dinners and Sandwiches. You'll be happy you did. And you'll be back for more... and more... and more....
