Amalia Chocolate a la Taza Powder from Spain (13.5 oz/380 g)
Spaniards enjoy the thickest, creamiest, richest cup of hot chocolate in the world! They dip fresh churros into a cup of this incredibly thick hot chocolate. If you can't get fresh churros, donuts are a perfect substitute.Amalia creates a piping hot cup of thick, creamy chocolate -- 'chocolate a la taza' -- just like the one you remember when you started your day in Spain.  My wife points out that it is virtually fat free -- unlike our Valor 'chocolate a la taza' bar -- so with a little imagination you can justify a piping hot mug as part of your diet! Actually, I just like its soothing creamy taste.It is so easy to make. All you do is follow the directions on the packet: put about 2 or 3 tablespoons of Amalia per cup of milk in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. You determine the thickness of your drink by the amount of time you let it simmer. I usually pour the chocolate drink into my cup after two minutes or so. A Tienda customer offers the following variation: Add 1/4 cup of Amalia chocolate to 1 cup of milk over medium heat. (Not the double boiler as mentioned on the package). When the drink thickens add either 1/2 vanilla bean split or a dash of vanilla to enhance the chocolate flavor and give it more pudding consistency. If you are feeling ambitious, we have a churro recipe for you on our site. But donuts and other pastries are also good companions to the traditional thick chocolate. Approximately 21 servings per bag.
