Carl has it right next to the register at New Deal Seafood. I made Mexican Hot Chocolate with it the day of the first snow storm, and it was a real hit! The shovelers really appreciated the treat!

Are you all talking about Taza Chocolate from Somerville? www.tazachocolate.com

They do make a mexicano bar.

Thanks for catching that - I have French on the brain for some reason.

They are selling that La Taza Choco in lots of places now, even in Concord (cheese shop). They sell in bars to eat as well as the round shaped one in wax paper that is used for cocoa. I didn't realize that and eat the round one straight which wasn't so great as it is much better in the cocoa.

The round mexican chocolate is fabulous! I can't actually think of any chocolate I'd rather eat!

La Taza, a local product, makes a nice one, highly recommended for use in hot chocolate. I get mine at Dave's Pasta in Davis Sq.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of La Taza... The uninspiring Abuelita is ubiquitous at grocery stores and smaller markets like La Internacional (Somerville) and La Chapincita (Allston). If you want the actual beverage made for you, you can find that at Simon's on Mass Ave near Porter.

Ooh, thanks for the tip on Simon's!
