## Description

desertcart.com : Castle Kitchen Double Decadent Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix-Dairy-Free, Vegan, Plant Based, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher Hot Chocolate-Just Add Water-14 oz Tin : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Rich, smooth, and no "sludge"—The gold standard for dark chocolate lovers - The Flavor: If you’re tired of the thin, overly sugary taste of "cheap" grocery store packets, this is the upgrade you’ve been looking for. The flavor is incredibly rich and deeply chocolatey without being overpowering. You can tell it’s made with quality cocoa and fewer "filler" ingredients than the budget brands. ​ My Preparation Hack: While the directions suggests water, I’ve found the absolute sweet spot: half 2% milk and half water. * The milk provides that essential creaminess and body. ​ Consistency is Key: One of my biggest pet peeves with premium mixes is when they clump or leave a thick layer of un-dissolved "mud" at the bottom of the mug. This mix dissolves incredibly easily and consistently. ​ Final Verdict: 5 Stars. It’s a decadent treat that actually feels like a gourmet cafe drink at home. It’s worth the extra couple of dollars to get a smooth, clean finish in every cup.
Review: Delightfully Surprised - I wasn't sure what to expect from this DF hot chocolate. I've had some disappointing samples in the past. Nevermore! I used oat milk to mix this heavenly brew. With little effort, this powder quietly dissolved in my holiday mug with little mixing needed. When I took my first sip of this gloriously decadent, rich, smooth delight meant to bring comfort to the holders of the sacred cup of cocoa, I was transported to a magical place where every house is blanketed in snow and has a crackling fire and overstuffed couch perfectly spaced as to not overheat while you sit in the wavering firelight with no care in the world. This is well worth your time.

A: The label says it is made in Canada.

**Q: States its non gmo, but you use gmo products such as alki to process the chocolate?...going to asume its also noy vegan?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This stuff is TRULY decadent!!
*by S***. on December 20, 2025*

This hot chocolate is amazing! I have lactose intolerance and cannot digest the milk in regular hot chocolate. This product is an amazing substitute! Just adding water, it's rich and decadent. You stir it into hot water and a rich foam forms on the top. Once you sip off the foam, the dark chocolate is below and looks like coffee. This product is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this product, especially to those who are lactose intolerant and miss hot chocolate!
