Should be indicated that this is in fact not to be used as cocoa powder, and strictly for beverages, and potentially buttercreams. Will cause baked goods to sink, and crack, and icings to split/separate.

Thank you for your review, James! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

This powder makes rich tasting hot cocoa. Tastes great with milk. However, we prefer to mix in a little bit more to make it a little bit thicker. Have been repurchasing this product.

Love the Ghirardelli sweet and ground cocoa powder, and it makes the best tasting chocolate frosting ever. Great quality and super smooth with no lumps.

I've used this product as drinking chocolate and also in baked cookies, brownies and cupcakes! Delicious, full, rich chocolate flavor. It does have sugar so cannot be used in buttercream.

We used to use this powder for our mochas which were a hit and delicious. The only issue we had was how long it takes to mix, TOO LONG! It would stick to the sides of the cups and clump up and we just didn't have time to spend 5 minutes stirring a mocha. However, for home use or shops with a less demanding pace, this powder is primo.

This is a really good product. Not only can you make it into hot chocolate, you can mix it into certain drinks and use it like a frappe powder. Good product.

Our coffee shop usually orders straight from Ghirardelli corporate ordering, but Webstaurant comes in so handy when we need something ASAP. We use the sweet ground chocolate in our hot chocolates and mocha lattes, and its delicious! We get tons of compliments on the flavor, and were even in the local paper for the popularity of our hot chocolate. This price is great too, barely more than from Ghirardelli themselves.

Use this to take your hot chocolates up a notch! We also use this in our mochas, which are a customer favorite. We haven't compared this to the syrup flavoring options, but we would definitely recommend for use in cafes/coffee shops.

This makes a delicious espresso mocha, hot chocolate, and especially brownies (recipes for all 3 are on the tin). It works great with my espresso machine's frothing wand. What distinguishes this from syrups or other powders is it actually contains a blend of ground-up chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla. The chocolate melts and mixes with the other flavors to make a super-rich and chocolaty mocha. I did find it cheaper at my local grocery store though.

This stuff is wonderful. I have used it in regular milk for cocoa and I have used it with powdered milk to make a hot cocoa mix. Its not quite as great as my own homemade recipe for hot cocoa, but a solid good cocoa and chocolate mix.

For the convenience and taste, this is a very, very good purchase. Nothing quite beats using cocoa and sugar or honey, but considering the convenience, this is in my opinion the best instant hot cocoa mix.

If you're looking for something that is great for making hot cocoa, or to add to espresso drinks, this is a good bet. If you're looking for something to add to cake recipes, I wouldn't use this. This is already sweetened, so you run the risk of making your cakes too sweet with this chocolate. If you're making a mocha, this is perfect.

Everyone knows Ghirardelli makes the finest chocolates, so I won't belabor that point. We use this powder for our hot chocolate drinks in the cafe, and customers love it. Sure, there are cheaper options out there. In our experience, the Ghirardelli name, backed up by the awesome product, make it worth it to spend a little extra for the best.
