When it comes to hot beverages during the wintertime I’m all about the hot chocolate. But…not just any old hot chocolate. Nope, I’m a hot cocoa snob and I prefer artisanal hot cocoa like the kind that I’m going to introduce to you today.

Let me introduce you to AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate. If you’re not familiar with AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate, the brand has a unique place in the history of Mars Wrigley Confectionery and in the hearts and minds of people all over America who appreciate an artisanal, authentic approach to making and celebrating chocolate. Conceived of, and crafted by, a dedicated team of historians, AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate is the result of painstaking years of research by a multidisciplinary team of more than 115 experts from around the globe. Culled from the archives of some of the most venerated historic institutions, libraries and private collections in America, and in consultation with leaders in food history – from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation to The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, the passionate team has developed a chocolate product with a flavor profile drawn directly from the annals of chocolate’s historic past.
For this review I received a complimentary bag of AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate Milk Chocolate Gourmet Hot Cocoa to try out for all of you. This hot cocoa has a hint of vanilla, orange and cinnamon flavor to it. It has a cream milk chocolate flavor with a tad of a spicy taste and I mean a TAD. It’s unlike any hot chocolate that I’ve ever had! It’s unique and oh so satisfying!
The product features: no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, Kosher, Rain Forest Alliance™ Certified, and 57% Cocoa.
You can enjoy this gourmet hot cocoa hot or chilled. There are instructions on the package for both methods. I prefer it hot. For those of you who are interested in the nutritional information: 3 fl. oz. of prepared hot cocoa contains 170 calories. You can enjoy it plain or add your favorite topping…I love adding marshmallow creme. If you’re a gourmet hot cocoa fan, you’ll really appreciate the unique flavor, smooth taste and absolutely no bitterness or aftertaste. It’s perfect!!!
Purchasing Info: AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate is sold in over 100 living history sites, museums and specialty gift shops nationwide as well as on Amazon.

This sounds like a unique hot cocoa to try. I am sure that American Heritage will have many different cocoas that i can enjoy.
I would so love to try this it sounds so good and I too am all about chocolate during the holidays. I also love that there are no preservatives in it that is important to me.
I love that this has no preservatives or artificial ingredients. I am one of those people who will take a hot chocolate over a coffee any day.
This is honestly one of the BEST hot cocoa’s that I’ve ever tried! While it’s not cheap like those brands that sit on the store shelf…it’s definitely worth the price if your a hot chocolate snob like me!
Ths sound really good. I like a nice milk chocolate flavor so I would really like this. I like how it has a bit of a twist toit, I bet it made it even better.
I’m a hot cocoa snob, too. I want quality chocolate.
I have heard of American Heritage chocolate I bet their hot cocoa is really delicious..
