Divine! This hot chocolate is delicious. I added a dash of cayenne and used bitter sweet and semi sweet and it turned out just perfect.

Amazing...I haven't been to Paris in over 12 years but just drinking this takes me right back to that little cafe around the corner from The Louvre! As the other reviewers have said, I will never be using powdered coco mix again! Thank you!!!!
