(SPOT.ph) Chocolate is always a treat—but when you’re specifically looking to get your fix in a way that warms the throat as much as it does the heart, hot chocolate is your best bet. This indulgent drink can be made of cocoa powder or straight up chocolate that’s mixed with water or milk and/or sweetener, giving you soothing sips that highlight the distinct taste of chocolate, rounded out with the creaminess of milk or the sweetness of sugar if you’re using them. There’s also the Filipino version dubbed tsokolate eh—hot chocolate’s more rustic cousin that’s made with tablea, the Filipino wonder of cacao nibs that are roasted, ground, and molded into some shape (usually discs or balls). Whatever kind of hot chocolate you’re up for, there’s a hot-chocolate mix out there for you—and we’ve rounded up standout versions in this list.

Just mix your desired amount into hot water or milk, stir, and drink up. Though it’s not too sweet as it is, you can also go for the Unsweetened version (P360/180 grams) if you’d like to control the amount of sugar.

They employ cacao from their own farm in Malvar, Batangas for an earthy, fruity note and grittiness that’s characteristic of tablea.
