This is by far the most enjoyable hot chocolate I've ever come across for consumer purchase. It is high in calories and expensive, but if you are looking for a rich, comforting cup of chocolate, this is it. This hot chocolate is thick and delicious in the European sense, yet not overly sweet as many American brands are. Unfortunately, MarieBelle is neither organic nor fair trade, but if that is not important to you then there is no downside.I've found no other maker produces a finer cup of chocolate, save the City Bakery in NYC--which is the next best thing to Parisian hot chocolate.
