Just as my wife remembers from her childhood

Whether this was the brand she used or not, drinking this, as well as making it for our daughters, brings my wife back to her childhood in Guanajuato and Chihuahua. Great Mexican hot chocolate!

Just like I remember as a little girl. Love having it year round, but especially when the weather cools down and Christmas decor goes up. I love this Mexican hot chocolate above all others. My kids prefer this one to cocoa packets.

Mexican chocolate w/kick
December 22, 2020
Have totally loved this stuff as a kid and still do. Kicked it up a notch on Christmases by adding extra cinnamon via cinnamon sticks and a whole egg per quart (not for everyone) while simmering and stirring or twirling for extra froth and smoothness. Pour into a large mug and add a shot or shot and a half of Kahlua, Mexican coffee liqueur, into a large mug. YUMMMERS!
Pros
- Mixing in the Kahlua
Cons
- Stirring or twirling for extra froth can get tiresome for the hands

If you have a milk allergy
October 3, 2020
My mother only ever used Ibarra and I have followed suit. I, however, have developed a milk allergy and I thought I would never be able to enjoy the chocolate of my youth. I was wrong! I found that using unsweetened almond milk results in a wonderful drink. I do not use the sweetened, vanilla flavored almond milk, just the 30 calorie unsweetened type and Ibarra. Hope this tip helps those of you with milk allergies.
Pros
- This product can be used with almond milk.

Authentic Mexican chocolate

Discovered this hot chocolate brand by a Mexican friend when I used to live in Las Vegas and have been loyal ever since. I use it to make mole and of course, hot chocolate. The taste is so good...,just the right combination of sweetness and cinnamon flavors.

No artificial ingredients, excellent flavour
November 16, 2018
I refuse to knowingly buy Nestle? products, so Abuelita is right out -- besides, it contains both unnecessary AND artificial ingredients. No such issues with Ibarra, and it satisfies my craving for Mexican chocolate, which can only be had in my neck of the woods if I make my own.

Well, since you asked, I was a little disappointed in my order this time. I have been buying this product for about 20 years. Always received it in cakes, and then would grate it myself. I was very surprised to have it come finely grated already! At first, I thought I had the wrong product, but then thought, yay! You grated it for me. I would have liked to be told, however, that there was a change in this product so I could choose (or maybe there is no choice; do you only have finely grated now?)
Anyway, I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it'll be the same good taste as always.
Thanks for your wonderful service.

Frother
February 2, 2017
Try heating milk/chocolate (half a tablet per 12 oz mug) in the microwave and finishing it off in a frother. Excellent.

Great taste!

My wife and I love this Mexican chocolate. I break it up with a hammer in its package and melt with milk to add to our espresso. Delicious!
Pros
- Great taste. Better than the powder of the same name. Convenient packaging.
Cons
- None to speak of.

Since trying my first cup with low-fat milk, I have not been able to go back to the common chocolate powder mix. It has just the right Mexican flavor.
Cons
- I'm experimenting with best ways to melt/break up tablets - worth the the work though.

I would like a little more chocholate and a little less sugar. Pretty good though.

Whole milk was used in the preparation, and it was really delicious hot chocolate. We loved the hint of cinnamon and other spices. We added a touch of chili powder as well.

I originally bought this to try in some Mole, but I haven't yet. I made hot chocolate and ate it out of the package so far. Way different then say Hershey's chocolate. But, very interesting. You can taste the sugar granules and a hint of cinnamon with dark, but not real bitter chocolate.
