Any suggestions for a good variety? I usually use Ghirardelli (either
unsweetened cocoa or the hot cocoa mix) with a 50-50 combination of
water and milk. Right now, I'm out and it's time to buy more.

I'm in the NY Metro area, if that matters for availability.

On a related note, this summer I drove cross-country, and by
happenstance, pulled into a rest stop along 80/90. I came across a stand
for the "South Bend Chocolate Company" and tried a hot chocolate.

It was *very* good; more akin to a hot, melted milk chocolate bar than
hot cocoa (too rich for regular consumption, I'm afraid). Anyone
familiar with this?
