RATING: 4 stars
My husband gave this 3 1/2, but he's not a big chocolate person. AND he kept coming over to me and taking more sips, so I think it grew on him! This is the real thing (esp if you use water instead of milk), so you can impress all your guests (or children!) with your little history and language lesson!
