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!

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.

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.
 
4 Star Rating  "Consistant basic Mexican hot Chocolate you can dress up"2006-01-12
- Reviewed By daverat
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.

There is nothing better than Ibarra hot chocolate! But all you really have to do is put two wedges of the chocolate, roughly chopped, into the blender with a cup of hot milk and frappe it. No simmering needed! (I nuke the milk.) Mmm, foamy and delicious!
 
4 Star Rating  "Chocolate Like You've Never Had It!"2004-01-10

I was first turned onto this chocolate when I visited a private Mexican themed coffee shop. I love a good mocha and that's usually how I judge a coffee shop first. This mocha was one-of-a-kind! I had to know what was in it. It was IBARRA!

Basically, Mexican chocolate is pure cocoa with cinnamon. IBARRA also adds some sugar and an emulsifier (which is why I only give it 4 stars). I have made mochas and hot chocolates at home and my guests think I'm a god (maybe an Aztec god!). It just really brings an orginal taste unlike any of those other cheap sugary brands (Nestle, Hershey's, ect.).

I highly recommend it. But two suggestions: IBARRA comes in "bricks" that you must chop or grind. We use a coffee bean grinder, but make sure it's a good quality grinder or cut the pieces into smaller pieces. Otherwise you might have a broken coffee bean grinder. For a real authentic feel you can use a stone and pistol just fine. And a recipe suggestion: Grind a portion of a Hazelnut for an added spice. ENJOY!
