Chocolate good enough to drink!
Think drinking chocolate is the same as hot cocoa? Think again!According to About.com
"Drinking Chocolates" are made from real chocolate as opposed to "Hot Cocoa" which is made from cocoa powder (the powdery remains of chocolate liquor after cocoa butter is removed). When you purchase a package of drinking chocolate it will often be in the form of chocolate shavings or chunks.As a chocolate lover, I'm pretty ashamed to admit that the first time I ever heard of drinking chocolate was either a) when Janet brought me some back from Paris or b) when Starbucks launched Chantico, a drinking chocolate-type drink. But once I did discover it I fell fast in love.
Drinking chocolates are not instant like hot cocoa. You must add hot milk, cream, or water to the chocolate in order for it to melt and be whisked together. Because of the higher cocoa butter content, drinking chocolates will also be richer and often thicker than hot cocoa.
Of course now I'm on an never-ending quest for the best drinking chocolate out there. Meet my newest best find: Schokinag drinking chocolate. I can't quite decide which is best - Triple Chocolate or Extreme Dark, although this dark-chocolate lover thinks it might just be the triple chocolate.
What does drinking chocolate taste like, you ask? It's nothing like cocoa - nope, think pure chocolate melted with milk. Not as thick as a chocolate sauce, but thicker than a hot cocoa. It's like heave n earth - the best comfort food, ever.
But don't take my word for it - head on over the Schokinag and try their award-winner line of drinking chocolates. You won't regret it!
