Nestle Abuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate Tablets

This hot chocolate is the best I’ve had in years. The flavor is next level definitely worth the wait for it to melt into your milk. It’s like a hug and a mug.!

Retro tasty treat. It’s great

El chocolate más delicioso

Love this, reminds me of my childhood & my mother.

It's just abuelita hot chocolate, nothing special about the Amazon version. I'd imagine that you are looking to buy this because you grew up with it so you're probably familiar with it's greatness. I did notice that the tablets I received were kind of melted and then solidified. the top one was tacky and hard with no engraved lined on it, but every tablet after that gradually was less melted. probably just the way it was stored in shipment. also it's important to mention that this thing shipped in a BIG BOX. I was confused what I ordered and I kid you not it was like a 17x12x8 inch box full of air cushions to protect this tiny little hot chocolate

I love this brand of hot coco it’s the only one I buy and I’m glad Amazon fresh has it

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💖

I love Mexican hot chocolate. It's a delicious alternative to a dessert and a real treat on cold nights. But which of the widely-distributed brands to choose? This one, Abuelita (a Nestle product) or the commonly-found Ibarra? Either you're Team Abuelita or Team Ibarra and then there are those who buy the brands direct from Oaxaca. Assuming you're going to buy the grocery store stuff, here goes a review.Abuelita (this product.) Big cakes wrapped in the traditional tissue paper, marked in wedges and quarters. A quarter can make a big 16 oz mug of hot chocolate. It is sweeter, more cinnamony and dissolves almost completely.This is interesting, as most Mexican chocolate tablets are made of unrefined chocolate nibs and don't dissolve easily. You get a grit of chocolate bits at the bottom which is not all a bad thing; they taste good.What I like:The cinnamon-forward flavorThe easy preparationThe wide availabilityThe mild chocolate flavorWhat I don't likeTOO sweet, a common failing of mass-produced things sold especially in the USA. American palates are tuned to very-sweet and that's the way it's been for many decades.Slightly artificial sense to the cinnamon.Despite the fast melting, instead of grit at the bottom, there are light flecks of unmelted chocolate that float around. I don't mind, but it makes a less pleasing look to the chocolate unless you blend it really well in the pot.Obviously more processed, and more sugar than chocolate; when you cut up the cake, you see the granulated sugar poking out. Less chocolate component.Summary: it's pretty good. But it's far sweeter than Ibarra and more processed; Ibarra leaves more nibs at the bottom of the cup and is less cinnamon flavored; if I want more cinnamon I can dust it from a bottle of Ceylon cinnamon I have in the spice drawer.HINT: If you find it too sweet, use 1/6 or 1/8th of a tablet and add a 1" square of 85-92pct dark chocolate bar, or some dissolved unsweetened cocoa. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and some more cinnamon to adjust the flavor to your liking. Not authentic, but takes down the sweetness.
