Be Not Afraid: Good Cocoa.

I have been buying Cocoa Powder at Sam’s for a couple years. My go to brand was replaced by this brand but I decided to take risk. Hey, when there is only one ingredient, how bad can it be, right. I discovered it is as good as my previous brand, seems to have more in the tub, and may dissolve better. It works for me.

I’m so glad Sam’s is stocking this product.

This cocoa is top tier as far as I’m concerned. It’s equivalent to the ceremonial cocoa and the benefits are worth every penny.

High quality with a low price

This is a high-quality cocoa powder, but don't let the price fool you, the quantity brings the per serving price much lower than many other sources I have found.

Way better than Hersheys!

My son often makes mug cakes and immediately smelled a difference between this and Hersheys. He said the taste was much cleaner too. I made cookies, peppermint bark, and chocolate sauce with this so far and it’s definitely a new staple in my pantry!

I paid almost the same price for 8 oz of cocoa the other day at another store. I wish I had known to check Sam's Club first! The size of this bag is large. You won't have to buy a new bag every time you want to bake a recipe. This unsweetened cocoa works perfectly in my chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream recipes. The bag was a little messy to open and some of the cocoa came out when I was trying to squeeze the air out, but I will just store it in an airtight container.

The moment that you open the bag your nose will be greeted by the delightful aroma of chocolate. My family couldn't wait for me to use the cocoa powder to make each of us a cup of hot chocolate. I then topped it with whipped cream. The bag has a QR code for recipes and the bag is resealable. My grandchildren are my little baking helpers so we had fun making brownies. We also liked the cocoa powder and peanut butter smoothies that I whipped up. I'm very happy with the cocoa powder and look forward to more baking fun.

Delicious flavor, not high sugar content.

First time purchasing this brand from Sam’s Club and I’m really happy with it. The taste of the cocoa is delicious, large pack so we won’t be running out soon. Use it for baking purposes or for making homemade hot chocolate and kids have been enjoying it a lot. It’s not cakey, which makes it easy to use.

Terrific cocoa

Since this was my first time purchase of this product, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But let me tell you it is head and shoulders above the common grocery store cocoa powder. The flavor is deep, rich and intense without being bitter. It is by far a superior product don’t hesitate to get it. You will love it.

So much better than Hershey's!

This is my new favorite cocoa powder! I saw this brand while placing an online order and thought I'd give it a try. I've never really been a fan of Hershey's powder. I first used this to make brownies - same recipe I always use. The flavor was so smooth and rich that I was an instant convert! My family could tell the difference as well and thought I'd purchased a mix. I noticed while shopping yesterday that my Sam's carries it in store, so I stocked up. I'm glad that, in this instance, Sam's paid attention to customer preference.
