Ed Levine lists some favored hot chocolate brands. As it usually goes with lists like this, I haven’t seen these products at my local Piggly Wiggly. I haven’t seen any of them beyond Swiss Miss, which is a wonderful product made from pure Swiss-grown ingredients and hand-mixed by beautiful Swiss girls for a few hours each day after school. What does Ghiradelli have on that, I ask you? Those Italians think any food they make is the creme of the crop. Well, there are little Swiss children who know better.
Don’t forget the Nestle family (also Swiss), which hand-pulverizes sugar around the kitchen table every evening. The youngest child gets to cut up the marshmallows.
I don’t care what brand it is, added to a strong cup of coffee, it’s all good.
Of course, this is my opinion. My husband cringes at anything chocolate that is flavored with raspberry.
