Drinking chocolate like you’ve never had (or you may call it hot chocolate). Made without powders, and just real chocolate (either chunks or grated). Some of these have very unique profiles, so be open a different kind of “cocoa” flavour (or no cocoa at all).

Here at The Science Of Chocolate, I focus on small more obscure unique makers from around the world. Less known, but by no means less wonderful than the more common brands you see today in the bean-to-bar world.

The key to a great drinking chocolate is two fold. One is using great chocolate (and I have that done for you here). The second is the method to make it. I recommend really frothing your chocolate into the hot milk as much as is humanly possible. You may heat up your milk and blend with a hand frother, whisk, blender, steaming wand from your coffee machine, or traditional molinillo! Whichever way works for you, the key is to create good volume and texture into your drinking chocolate. Specific instructions and ratios are listed on the back of the packages.

The packs will be from the makers listed, but may not be exactly the bars shown. You may request a specific drinking chocolate’s from that maker in the “notes” section at checkout, but I can’t guarantee I can fulfill that. These kits are for those with a little flexibility and an open mind to trying chocolate with unique styles, flavour profiles, and approaches to chocolate. All using ethically sourced cacao.

The prices for other gift sets include the cost of the Beautiful Bundle (all the trimmings in your box aside from the bars). Here however, you are only paying for the bars themselves, and no extra for the Beautiful Bundle. Beautified for you, for free!
