    Tastes very much like the hot cocoa it take forever to make on the side of the box. I love this mix!

    I think this recipie makes a great cup of chocolate. I think I'm going to lower the powder sugar while upping more cinnamon and cayenne until I get a more mexican cocoa.
    I've noticed that some people thought that the even with the powdered milk the concoction was a bit watery. I've solved that deficiency by using a molinillo ( mexican chocolate stirrer. I also used build the drink slowly, first adding enough water to make a thick slurry. Then adding a little water at a time, always stopping to stir with the molinillo, until I reach the consistancy I'm looking for. This gives me a rich cup of cocoa.

    We tried this recipe to try to get away from the processed mixes that we grew up with, and liked it so much that we decided to pack some in decorated mason jars for Christmas gifts for friends and family! A nice little package along with gingerbread men and Alton's Chocolate Fudge! Some of our friends have come to visit with their empty jars in hand and asked for refills! We've made about 10 batches so far and we're only halfway through our Vermont winter! Hmmm, wonder what a little addition of peppermint schnapps would do? Super Bowl Sunday sounds like a good test date!

    I just finished a cup of this after coming in from snow shoveling. It's perfect hot cocoa... very chocolate-y and not too sweet. If you're having trouble finding dutch process cocoa, try penzeys.com. They have the best in my opinion.

    This mix is wonderful. It is rich and creamy made with the hot water. I cannot wait to try it with hot milk. I used a good quality dutch cocoa and a very fine (dutch type powder sugar. The cayenne is key. You certainly cannot put your finger on what it is that gives the beverage that special little ZIP. It adds just the right amount of complexity to the lovely flavor of this hot cocoa. Thank you Alton for a great recipe. My family thanks you too!

    I have never had better hot chocolate mix! The cayenne pepper adds just the right amount of heat to make you wonder what's different. I love this!

    I first saw Alton Brown's Hot Cocoa Mix recipe and thought, wow, that would be a great Holiday gift, paired with some nice mugs and some homemade marshmallows! I had a blast making these for family and friends and have had requests for the recipe so they can replenish their stocks! I even altered the recipe for a vegetarian version of the mix using powdered soy milk in place of the powdered cow milk, and it was delicious!
