Lake Champlain Traditional Hot Chocolate

by Valerie on December 16, 2008 · 2 comments


After my hot chocolate post on Lake Champlain’s Old World Hot Chocolate, I received an email from Leann at Lake Champlain asking if I would be willing to receive some samples and review their New World Hot Chocolate. I especially liked that Leann emphasized she preferred an honest review. Since I had already purchased products from Lake Champlain many times and loved many of them, I couldn’t resist.

And so a few days later I received a lovely package of goodies, including their holiday chocolates, New World Drinking Chocolate, Traditional Hot Chocolate and Organic Hot Chocolate.

I tried the Traditional Hot Chocolate first — I was in the mood for something chocolatey but still milky. The Traditional Hot Chocolate is truly delicious. I always find it interesting how Americans associate the lovely liquid chocolate richness with European hot chocolate. Yes, that’s one type – but it’s not really an everyday treat. Growing up in Switzerland, I drank basic hot chocolate which was excellent, but more milky than the liquid chocolate. Though, I should emphasize it is definitely still milky and rich as opposed to the thinner cocoa I was introduced to when I came to the States for college.

Anyways, Lake Champlain’s Traditional Hot Chocolate is just that — a lovely smooth rich but not over-the-top hot chocolate. What’s also nice about it is that I could see this appealing to many. It would be the perfect hot chocolate to serve at a holiday event. It’s rich enough that a fan of liquid chocolate goodness would be satisfied by it, but still milky enough to please cocoa fans.

I will review my other goodies very soon, but I wanted to write about the Traditional Hot Chocolate first because it really struck me as the first perfect hot chocolate to share at holiday gatherings.

That’s so cool!!! Mark has been drinking their Aztec hot chocolate, and we both really like it. And then we’re on to hot chocolate at Equinox on Friday–doesn’t get much better.
