What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the hot drinks or organic aisle at Whole Foods — a pantry staple for cozy evenings, holiday gatherings, or a quick sweet pick-me-up. Its 'organic' branding and rich chocolate promise a comforting, nostalgic indulgence, but the powdered formulation, alkali-processed cocoa and additives like xanthan gum and natural flavors indicate a highly processed mix engineered for smooth texture and instant dissolvability.
