I went to ACKC for hot chocolate today with a friend. For the first time ever, we were in there alone. Usually it's packed. I ordered the Belgian hot chocolate, half whole and half skim. For the first time ever (no doubt because they weren't busy), the guy asked me if I wanted milk, dark or bittersweet chocolate -- I didn't know that was an option. I chose half dark and half bittersweet. (60% vs. 72%). It was excellent -- much better than what I've had there before, and what I'd had before was delicious. I also have now learned to ask for it to be served extra hot, as I've gotten it lukewarm in the past. Next time, I think I'll go for 100% bittersweet. So, with these improvements, the hot chocolate at ACKC is even better.
P.S. Personally, I prefer the Belgian chocolate as opposed to the "diva" flavored hot chocolates, which I think have a bit too much going on.

Trader Joe's seems to have brought back Sipping Chocolate this year. It was MIA last year. I saw some at the Bailey's Crossroads store week before last, then last week the shelf was empty but the price tag was still there, so I guess they're expecting another shipment. If you make it like the instructions it's like drinking a chocolate bar.
I suppose that ACKC probably serves something like that, for the price, or more, of a whole can at TJ's.
