I didn't want to just eat the chocolate, so I made some hot chocolate, and decided to see if adding the Advent calendar chocolate made the hot chocolate better or worse. I used some Land-O-Lakes premium quality hot chocolate that Joe's mom picked up for $1.99 (for 12) at the Christmas Tree Shop.
Upon closer inspection, it appears today's chocolate might be a sled with a present on it, with a tree in the background. Or a fancy g.
Behold the g in the hot chocolate powder:
When the hot chocolate is all stirred up, you can't even tell the difference, by looks anyway.
Actually, it appears that the hot chocolate with the Advent calendar chocolate (the mug on the left, with the circles), is a bit smoother. Joe was extremely paranoid that I was sneaking him the mug with the extra chocolate, but I just like to have a control for my experiments. In the end, I think he was disappointed I didn't give him the extra chocolate-y hot chocolate, because mine was most definitely superior. He claimed that mine tasted more like fake chocolate, but isn't all hot chocolate powder pretty fake anyway?

Since I am not a big warm beverage guy, I haven't often had hot chocolate from a coffee shop. So, literally, up until like 2 years ago, it never occurred to me to make hot chocolate with milk because growing up we always made it with water.
I was amazed at the difference.
