Iced chocolate vs hot chocolate on ice

by Nicole Weston, Posted Aug 3rd 2006 @ 12:06PM

Mariebelle's new Iced Aztec Chocolate has been getting a lot of press lately, which is not surprising given that it is a product from the chocolatier famous for their wonderfully rich Aztec Hot Chocolate. Finding a way to make hot chocolate into a summertime drink takes some ingenuity - or does it?

Apparently not.

It turns out that the new drink still has to be prepared with boiling water to fully dissolve the chocolate before being combined with ice. This is somewhat disappointing because the very name suggests that "iced chocolate" might be able to start and finish cold, with no heating required. With no further explanation on their site, this seems to indicate that it is simply a repackaging of their standard product with some new instructions. At least they didn't raise the price with the repackaging ($22/ 20-oz), but don't feel the need to rush out and try this if you already have some of the hot chocolate mix in your cupboard.
