how does one use this, prepare it? thanks!

We ONLY use it to make hot chocolate with water & would NEVER think of eating it like a candy bar; some relatives use milk instead of water but that is rare. In Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico our family & most people there drink this every morning instead of coffee & it is actually stronger & healthier than coffee because it is a different stimulant. For us the tradition of drinking it with water comes directly from the Mayan indigenous people in Yucatán, Mexico. You can buy it in patties like this which by the way is the most authentic we have ever found in the United States!! In Yucatán we prepare & make the chocolate patties at home. We buy the co-co beans in bulk, roast them (it's all in how you roast them too like coffee) , we grind them into a powder & add cinnamon & make them into little patties on wax paper & store them with out any sugar. Then to drink we break a patty up & add boiling water into a type of wooden old fashioned blender so to speak like the Mayas use. There is a hole in the lid so that a wooden rod with wooden wings on the end is used to mix/beat the chocolate & water until it is frothy & foamy at the top. Next we pour it into a tea cup & add sugar to taste--1 of your patties makes two tea cups because you want to drink it really strong.

is this imported from Mexico ?

Nope, it's manufactured in Somerville, MA.

Is there milk or sugar in this product? Does it dissolve like regular chocolate when heating it with almond milk? Thank you!

Has sugar. Dissolves well in all liquids. We have used it w/ almonds milk. Best blended in a blender or whisked.

Has anyone tried using this to make Mole?

I'm not sure how well it melts, or how it would be in mole, but, just to eat as chocolate, IMO, it's terrible.

tasty treat best enjoyed in fall/winter

I love these! I buy them whenever I see them on sale..but do not buy them in the warmer months or they will arrive melted and in one big powdery clump

Delicious but not fresh.

This was wonderful, yummy chocolate despite it having melted, ill-shaped and partly white from age. So it wasn’t nice enough to give as a a gift, which I would have liked to do f.or a complete relatives. It was very expensive for a special treat, so I doubt I’ll be getting another very soon.

Worth the purchase!

Delicious, better than Abuelita brand. Need to stir it well or it will sit in a clump in the bottom of the cup.

It's fine it's just not worth the price

Way too tiny for the price. The Taste was fine it was really grainy and I know that's part of the characteristic of this kind of quality of chocolate I just was underwhelmed by it

Different

Had to try it, probably a good chocolate for baking. It is very sugary in texture, and the cinnamon is mild.
