Looking for Mexican hot chocolate?
These chocolates are for eating. Mexican table chocolate, like Abuelita, is a different thing: it comes in tablets made to melt into hot milk and be whisked until foamy, and it lives in another section of the store. If you're craving a steaming mug, the Mexican hot chocolate guide walks you through it.
