I'm looking for a SUPER dark chocolate drink. Is this drink very sweet? If so, what do you all recommend as a dark (but not too bitter) drink?

This is very dark chocolate drink and it isn't sweet at all. I always add some sweet and low or splenda to it. And I cut it from four tablespoons to three. Also use almond milk instead of water. I could even try two tablespoons instead of three and still be palatable i'll bet.

Degree of sweetness most often depends upon individual taste. I can tell you that the dark chocolate is not bitter and I don't find it as sweet as the milk chocolate. Their "recipe" calls for 4 tablespoons of the cocoa but that's just too rich for me and I find 2 tbsp. just right. I love Godiva dark chocolate and would rather do without than substitute something else.

I would take a very rich dark chocolate drink (sweet) and add some natural unsweetened 100% cacao such asHershey's Cocoa and mix the two, until you get the taste you are looking for.

This is a fabulous drink! It's not sugary sweet, but it is rich! We love it! Hope that helps!

While I have no way of knowing what YOUR taste is, and all I have left of my Christmas-can of Godiva is enough to sprinkle on my tongue, so I can't figure in the added sweetness of the milk, I would say that Godiva Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa is exactly what you are looking for -- a "SUPER dark chocolate drink" that is not bitter. Enjoy!!

The Godiva dark chocolate drink is a very rich delicious hot chocolate when added to hot milk. It is sweet but not overly sweet, definitely not bitter. If you would like a dark chocolate drink that is not sweet, best bet is to add plain unsweetened cocoa powder such as Droste's cacao powder to hot milk. Hope this helps.

This is a very delicious DARK chocolate drink. I am so pleased with this cocoa as it is not too sweet like milk chocolate. It says to make it with milk, but I also add a little hot water. It is not bitter.

I've seen the dark chocolate orange, but never with respberry. I'd like to get a hold of that myself! Sounds yummy !!!

I'm really surprised by the number of people who dont use water. I only use milk with the chocolate and its amazing. It's like drinking thick chocolate milk or a chocolate shake.

ummmm..for me, not so much. to share what I do...because I try & have some dark choc each day...(health benefits..) I put this tea in almost boiling water then take a small piece of dark choc & stir it in tea, melting it...works for me...

I really don't picture it tasting "right" with chocolate... It is indeed delicious, but to me it's more of a softer taste, like a coffee-flavored tea. Well, wait a minute... Let me make some and see!! Ha... Hmmm... Gee, actually it's pretty good! I added more Dandy Blend than I normally would have to make it stronger. Better than I thought it would be!! I totally love caf mochas, so this is a decent alternative indeed. Not AS good, but yes, you could live with this!! :)

It's very low in Carbohydrates (7g w/ two full scoops)I only use 1 scoop, thats why I'm hooked.. ;-) It contains some natural sweetener called RejuvaSweet and haven't been able to find any other products with this. I think it tastes amazing considering the low carb count.

I bought the pomegranate mango, original, and chocolate and to be honest, the pm and original taste the same. I blended it with apple juice and then almond milk and all it seems to do is take on the take of the liquid but give a gritty texture.Chocolate is a bit like ovaltine or milo. I recommend blending it on 'liquefy' for a few minutes, it helps with the texture. Tastes best with sweetened almond milk.

If you are used to using straight cocoa powder this will seem like a medium sweet. Not total sugar but you will taste the difference. It depends on the application. Great for Hot Cocoa and dusting desserts made with lower % chocolate that is more bitter. I really like this product.

The one I purchased was specifically Dark chocolate .. Tastes great .. I would double check w/seller before purchasing if you want milk

I agree with Anastasia. I like this flavor of cocoa. Of course it's not going to be deluxe gourmet with fresh chocolate shavings and whip. BUT for a quickie Keurig hot cocoa, it's pretty dang good. It's like getting the Swiss Miss or other hot cocoa packets at the market. It's just in a pod form. If you don't like, return it. Or chalk it up to experience!

It tastes good. Try it with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, very delicious. You do know vibrant health has this very same green drink IN a protein powder? The chocolate one is amazing.

The actual mix is like a vanilla flavor. I haven't had a plain shake on its own, I like adding in jello pudding mixes for flavors. It picks up whatever flavor of what you mix, but you can still taste the hint of vanilla--you can find a ton of recipes online. Personally I do not feel its gritty like some people have said, perhaps because I like malts (which tend to be gritty), I just don't notice it. Also, some say its just too sweet. I love sweet, but I think too it could be if you use water, milk, almond or soy milk. Using ice and certain flavors I feel it tastes like a blended frozen drink from starbucks or an icecream shop. I think meal replacement drinks like slim fast are watery, with the frozen blending it totally adds more consistency and you can make it taste anyway you want.

The lemonade is our favorite, we've actually ordered another one separately! The Blueberry and Orange flavored syrups are also very good. The Strawberry and Grape are just ok and I'd say the cherry was very weak. It didn't really matter how much syrup I added it just seemed to lack the good cherry flavor that I've tasted with basically every syrup ever. Hopefully that helps and don't forget these are all just personal opinions so you might just want to try for yourself :)

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

I've had a different brand with a fizzy citrus drink. AMAZING! I coudln't stop drinking it. You have to find the right kind of citrus drink though, most don't work. I can't remember the brand, but it was a popular brand in Argentina.

It's not bad. I drink it plain, or add kale and it's a nice alternative to the vanilla. (I have an intolerance for chocolate, so haven't tried that flavor). Mixing this flavor with fruit isn't a good thing.
