Tablea-Like Hot Cocoa From Starbucks

In the Philippines, my dad once brought home a bar of chocolate.  But it wasn't a candy bar.  It was a bar that he later ground into hot chocolate, my husband calls it tablea - made from pure cocoa. It was delicious!

A few weeks back, we found this Starbucks Hot Cocoa Classic at Costco.  It was cold when we woke up Sunday morning so I thought I'd open the can and try it out.

It tasted just like the hot chocolate made from tablea - and my husband loves it too!  Pure cocoa, with a little chocolate bitterness and a lot of the luscious flavor of rich chocolate.  Just add hot milk and you have the perfect decadent cup of hot chocolate for the cold days ahead.

It is sure to make you feel like it's Christmas.  And speaking of the holidays, this pretty tin will make a great gift for friends and family!  So sit down, relax, unwind and have a cup of hot cocoa - one of my favorite comfort foods/beverages of all time.
