Dandelion Chocolate | House Mocha Mix

We’ve always craved hot chocolate drinks that are thick, rich, and profoundly chocolatey. One reason we launched a chocolate factory in San Francisco was to offer a hot-chocolatey fortifiant to a city with over one hundred days of fog. Every day in our cafés, we steam countless fresh hot chocolates and mochas for friendly guests — and fans have enjoyed whisking up our classic Hot Chocolate Mix at home for years. Now, just in time for prime hot-drink season, we’ve created our first make-anywhere House Mocha Mix. Convenient for enjoying at home (or gifting to coffee-loving friends), this vegan House Mocha Mix is crafted from a comforting, revivifying blend of our fudgy 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador chocolate, and flavorful organic coffee from Ventura-based Café Altura. The mix is delicious prepared with any milk of choice; and once empty, the elegant, reusable bottle becomes a lovely vase or keepsake. Design Note: A few years ago, Remy Labesque, a talented industrial designer (and Dandelion friend), attended our Introduction to Chocolate class and asked if there might be opportunities to collaborate. Over many months, he developed the concept for our corked glass bottles and oversaw their production in Japan. We love how they look in our kitchen and hope that they will serve as functional, beautiful objects with many future uses. Each bottle makes four servings.
