| Real Mexican chocolate of any version will be much better than mass produced American chocolate simply because the cocoa content is much higher (as w/ European chocolate). This is REAL dark chocolate w/ a little spice and sugar. I do not think it requires any additional sugar when I make it since I want the dark chocolate flavor. I use a whisk and it comes out delicious. I think this is one of the best products Nestle makes and about the only one I consistently purchase. In fact I'm going to try the powder mix version for convenience, but since the chocolate will be further processed, it probably won't be as good. However, it also received positive reviews. |

| From Nestle comes Abuelita an excellent hot chocolate for those Fall and Wintry days. This is sugared dark chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. Each box comes with six tablets. The best way to serve is to heat four cups of milk, break up one tablet, put milk and chocolate in blender, and blend approximately one minute. I have the standard powdered hot chocolate in the cupboard but my kids seem to go for the Abuelita first. They add one broken tablet and milk into the Cocomotion and in a few minutes they are in hot chocolate heaven. Abuelita has a homemade dark chocolate taste that is not found in most conventional powdered brands. This a product that is well worth keeping on hand for those hot chocolate days. |

| I like to powder it to add to my lattes. I first discovered it when going to a local LA coffee house where they made Mexican Hot Chocolate and Mexican Mochas. Yummy! So I started making them at home with my espresso press and blending the chocolate in my milk and adding it to espresso. Whola, a homemade Mexican Mocha thanks to Abuelita! |

| When it came to hot chocolate my beverage used to be swiss miss. But after one cold morning of moving a hot tub I was rewarded with Abuelita. This hot cocoa has tastes of cinnamon and other spices. I like to add a bit of cayenne or chili powder to it, and it is just delicious. |

| This is fabulous and it's what we drank when traveling in Cancun every morning. I just found it in our grocery and was thrilled to have it. I put the tablet in the blender and pulverize it (do one at a time, otherwise they melt). Then, you can pour the hot milk into the blender, or else I put it in a separate container and stir it into hot milk I've heated in the microwave. Each tablet makes about four cups. I'll add 1-2 heaping tablespoons. Yum! |

"Good. But i'd drink Quik over this any day." | |

| Pretty good Mexican chocolate drink, you get 6 tablets, round large pieces of thick chocolate, and break it off into the liquid to make the drink. It taste's good, but not great, definately not near the best chocolate drinks. Some people might say it is for the fact that it's very home style. But I'd prefer Quik or Yoo Hoo over this anytime of the week. If your Spanish you might make it to feel other people from central/south america feel welcomed, because this is a popular drink worldwide that started off in Mexico. If your curious to wonder how these tasts, then don't hesitate to buy it. |
