Nestle Abuelita Mexican Chocolate 19 ounces

Always nice to try something new and this didn't dissapoint. A very moorish blend of spices and chocolate that culminates in a most delicious quality warm hot drink. While warming in a pan the smell is just devine, reminds me of christmas with that cinnamony and nutmeg odor rising to the nose. A little sweeter than I was expecting but not a bad thing. Top job Nestle :)

Very good quality

This hot chocolate has a distinctive taste, you either like it or not. I love it and a tip for enjoying it quicker, take a piece, wrap it in kitchen roll and batter it with a hammer till its powder 😁

When I was at university (in the 90s!) I had a Mexican friend who used to make me this hot chocolate. In fact he even gave me some when I left. For the last 25+ years no hot chocolate has ever really lived up to this in terms of taste - or the experience of preparing it (literally melting big lumps of chocolate into milk). So I decided it was time to revisit the stuff and see if it was as good as I remembered. And the answer is... almost. I'm pretty convinced that company and location are the deciding factor in how good any drink tastes. That being said, it is still great fun to make and a great taste. I've only docked a star because each disk of chocolate only makes 2 mugs - so it works out as around £1 a mug - which probably makes it an experiment I won't be repeating...

This is always my go-to for when I miss home. The packaging is nice and it arrived very quickly, so I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

One of the best i ever had

I had a bit of a hope for this one, since it's not cheap and the reviews are very positive on average, but honestly, it didn’t hit the mark. To me the pack smells like cinnamon spiced dog food - not exactly appetizing. The taste wasn’t awful, but it was way too sweet. To be fair, I’m more of a dark chocolate fan (75% it the *sweet* spot, haha, get it? 🤦‍♂️), so someone with a preference for milk chocolate might enjoy it much more than I did. I tried steaming 250ml of milk with a quarter of a puck, but it melted only halfway, and I had to stir it a lot to get it to mix. Next time, I might grind the puck first to save the hassle, and also use 1.5 quarters, since it was too thin for my liking. Take it as you will, but on average I’ve had much better hot chocolate from coffee vending machines.

This hot chocolate was bought before a trip to Mexico when I was searching for products to try with our kids as a surprise ahead of our holiday. This hot chocolate is so lovely, with the spices making it so much better than standard hot choc! Some might say it's a faff to make (the old fashioned stirring into milk on the hob method) but you have to put a bit of work in the get the rewards sometimes! These are individually wrapped "cakes" of spiced chocolate that make several mugs per "cake", or you can break off a segment for a single serving.

Muy bueno pero bastante caro

so im a bit weird with my coffee i guess, i like adding hot chocolate to my hot coffee beverages. i recently was gifted a 5lb whole bean bag of Starbucks christmas blend(not the holiday blend, christmas is better in all things.) i loved the sumatran dark roast but...it wasnt christmasey enough! so i bought this and added like 2 of the triangle wafer peices to it lol waay too much, but tasted amazing! from now on i only need 1 little triangle per 8oz cup of my hot sumatra, but i add it to the cup before my 💓mainstays single serve dual brew💜 starts adding the hot coffee into the cup, & i just mix it in! its amazing. no added sugar as this has all that already. i add in some french vanilla dairy creamer as well for a richer drink, but both almond, & coconut milk was good too!💙 my husband says it smells heavily of big red bubble gum out of the package to him, which hes right it has a cold throw of cinnamon gum, but its completely different hot. much more delicious & complex, like a fancy christmas blend milk chocolate dream when heated up. next im trying the ibarra bc i am in need of a thicker drink, with darker chocolate flavor & less cinnamon.. on normal days i dont need the xmas warm & fuzzies lol i got mental comfort from this drink & im keeping the jar in a cold dark shelf on the floor of my desk to help preserve it. heat rises to kitchen cuppords & shelves! if you are curious about dabbling into the world of mexican hot chocolate drink bars like these, let me tell you! Emmy made, on youtube is who got me to order this in the first place with her review of both. its not normal chocolate bars, its a mix of rough cut chunky sugar, cinnamon, & hot cocoa mix all put together with fine mexican chocolate, & it has changed my coffee for good. i store one whole wafer at a time pre cut in a clean pickel jar for quick coffee in the mornings & nights💖

Very tasty and easy to make.

The package was torn and damaged .

Zu Weihnachten gönnt man sich schonmal eine Premiumschokolade - dachte ich - aber das hier ist vor allem süß. Schmeckt kaum nach Schokolade oder Kakao. Wenn man es dann noch mehr verdünnt, hat man nur noch Zucker Milch. Schade. Mir ist schon klar, dass Geschmäcker verschieden sind und man über dem großen Teich es gerne süßer hat, aber ich finde man sollte schon noch schmecken, was man trinkt. Außer süß (und ein paar Gewürzen) ist da nicht viel.
