Some really good sugar-free chocolate

So now that I'm back in the low-carb lifestyle, I'm finding it difficult to scratch the hot chocolate itch. In the past I did have some Swiss Miss diet cocoa, but it was a pain to work with. The stuff was apparently made to refuse to dissolve in water no matter what. The taste was okay at best, and each pack had 4 grams of carbohydrates in it. Not bad, but not terribly satisfying either.

After some online reading, I found folks referencing the stuff you see here, Chatfields All Natural Cocoa Powder.

I located some at a local health food store, and gave it a go. This is excellent stuff. First off, it is unsweetened. No sugar, no artificial sweetener, nothing. Just cocoa powder. Each teaspoon is two grams of carbohydrates, but one of those grams is fiber, so you got one net carb per traspoon. Not bad at all.

So on to the hot chocolate. Heat up a cup of hot water. I use a heaping teaspoon (which I bet is more like a tablespoon and a quarter) along with a splash of Da Vinci Sugar Free Kahlua syrup to sweeten it up, and the stuff mixes up great. The chocolate is ground extremely fine, and dissolves perfectly. Excellent stuff indeed.
