Organic Traditional Hot Chocolate, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this canister in the coffee & hot cocoa aisle or a seasonal winter display — a quick grab for cold nights, holiday gatherings, or cozy movie evenings. It feels nostalgic and indulgent, promising a smooth, comforting mug, but the high-sugar recipe and use of alkalized (Dutch-processed) cocoa reveal industrial processing and a formulation designed for consistent color, flavor and texture rather than minimal processing.
