Not instant, but worth the difference on a cold morning with a spicy tang. I suggest three cups of milk instead of four ... two if you like it dark. A barrista's powered wisk helps smooth out the chunks.

Really good option to make hot chocolate or champurrado (Mexican prehispanic hot drink). We use to sell champurrado in our restaurant "Fonda Santa Rosa" Mexican Cuisine.

Abuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate is a classic for a reason. The tablets melt smoothly and create a rich, creamy drink with a perfectly balanced chocolate and cinnamon flavor. It's not overly sweet and tastes very authentic, especially when made with milk. I love how easy it is to prepare, and the aroma alone feels comforting and nostalgic. Great quality, great value, and perfect for cold days or sharing with family.

I definitely love chocolate abuelita when the weather is cold. The texture is a hard chocolately tablet. The aroma is chocolate, and the dissolving method is just stirring. Til it melts inside the pot. When it boils it turns into a foamy, that's when you know the chocolate abuelita is ready.

Bought this on a lark to please someone and it backfired big time. Used 1/4 tablet in a cup of heated almond milk for my girlfriend on New Year's Day. She let me taste it before she threw it out. It was nasty. No discernable chocolate flavor and just a weird off taste. I could have easily made her happy with a packet of Swiss Miss. If your abuelita serves this to you, she must hate you.

The description of what I ordered was unclear and I didn't realize it was tablets. They are hard to desolve. It took about 15 minutes boiling in water and there was still some small grains of the product that didn't dissolve. The taste was not as good as the packets of powder.

Good product

The moment I dropped an Abuelita tablet into warm milk, my whole kitchen filled with that nostalgic cinnamon-chocolate aroma - it instantly felt like a cozy winter evening. The mix melts into this silky, comforting drink that tastes like a childhood memory you didn't even know you had. It's rich without being heavy, sweet without being overwhelming, and the little hint of spice makes every sip feel warm and inviting. I love how easy it is to prepare - no mess, no fuss - just pure comfort in a cup. The packaging is adorable and keeps the tablets perfectly portioned, which makes it so convenient when I just want a quick treat. This hot chocolate has genuinely become my go-to for winding down and giving myself a small moment of joy. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and comforting the aftertaste is - no artificial sweetness, just a warm hint of cinnamon and a soft chocolate finish that lingers like a homemade treat. The ingredients feel simple and traditional, giving the drink a rich yet natural flavor that tastes like it came from a family recipe rather than a mix. And the whole preparation process is incredibly clean and easy: the tablets don't crumble, there's no powdery mess, and everything dissolves smoothly without leaving sticky spots behind. It's convenience, flavor, and comfort all in one cup.

Alot cheaper then the other stores.

With two cans of carnation milk, so good on a cold day
