Castle Kitchen Sugar Free Double Decadent Dark Hot Chocolate - Premium Plant Based, Dairy Free, Gluten-Free Vegan Hot Coca Mix - Just Add Water - 8 oz Can

This is pretty decent as an ultra low sugar alternative. I have been making it with unsweetened almond milk which is 30 calories a serving, plus the 40 calories for this coco brings it to a 70 calorie treat. I find I can even dilute it with additional hot water and it is still a pretty good chocolate fix. Does it taste like real hot chocolate made with sugar - no. You can definitely taste the stevia and monk fruit. However it is decently chocolaty and does satisfy that craving for some warm coco on a cold day with minimal calories, a good dose of chocolate antioxidant, and whatever extra protein and vitamins you get from your choice of milk. Overall, it is just what it claims to be and I will buy it again.

Good quality but it takes a little bit getting used to because it uses monk fruit to sweeten it which better than using sugar and also good for diabetics.

I mix it with a half cup of decaf coffee and some Orgain chocolate protein drink. This product is not very sweet and does not mix well. Even after stirring there are clumps. And it's expensive. I still might buy it again because the taste is good. Update 2/26. I mix a tablespoon of this chocolate and a scoop of collagen powder, then pour in the hot coffee. It mixes pretty well then. Then I add some Orgain chocolate protein drink. Very yummy! Protein, collagen, and chocolate all in one cup.

Excellent' My wife & I, mix this product with hot milk, and we end up with awesome hot chocolate drink everytime. It comes out smooth, heavy texture and delicious despite it is sugar free. We rely on the sweetness of the milk rather than added sugar which is not healthy. I will continue buying his product despite it is a little pricy $14.00 - it was on sale for a little over $11 during the Prime period, which I wish to continue to be the fixed price for that can. Thanks.

This is an okay product with some issues for me. The good stuff: sugar free, dairy free, vegan approved. The in-between stuff: it has an intense dark chocolate flavor which is okay. The not-so-good stuff: it touts as being sugar free and that is okay BUT there is no taste of any sweetness at all, it does not go into solution/mix up well, leaving huge lumps of powder floating on the top of my mug no matter if hot/warm/cold water is added; the directions on the canister makes for an off-ration of this powder being way too much for 1 mug in my opinion. But I have been able to make it work by using only half the powder in a mug, adding a packet of stevia and mix using a battery powered drink wand mixer. Probably will not order the sugar free one again. Note: comparatively I previously ordered and loved the sugared version of this and it was the best tasting ever and still had issue of the powder not going into solution easily and had to use the wand hand blender and the ratio of powder also had to be decreased for my liking, BUT the sugar free has a lot more issues as detailed above.

The taste is just fine if you have sweet tooth. Dissolve well in hot water (less so in cold milk).

Love this! It has a deep rich flavor that's not too sweet. I put a tablespoon into my cup and added about two ounces of almond milk in and stirred. Got it into a thick syrup. Then I added an additional 13 or so ounces of almond milk. Nuked until hot and stirred. Result was a rich, wonderful treat. I'm lactose intolerant so I so appreciate that this is dairy free! But when you sip, it's the rich taste of chocolate that shines through, not the sugar. Not gonna lie, there is a very faint aftertaste, I'm guessing it's the stevia, but I drink diet Coke so I'm used to that. Love this mix!

This product has a couple of problems. First it doesn’t dissolve in the liquid and it’s not sweet enough. If you want a product that is dairy free, gluten free, and sugar free I would recommend just buying plain cocoa powder and add it to your liquid of choice and add your sweetener of choice it’s a lot cheaper and about the same as this powder. The best thing I can say about it is that it’s flavor’s okay.

I was looking for a rich, thick, good-tasting hot chocolate that would still be workable for someone with Type 2 diabetes. That’s easier said than done. After a fair bit of research, I landed on this mix. Straight out of the can, I’ll be honest—it was disappointing. Thin, not very indulgent, and definitely not what I was hoping for. I was close to regretting the purchase. That said, this mix turned out to be a very good base. With some experimenting, I found that adding powdered skim milk and monk fruit sweetener completely changed it. My process is to blend everything thoroughly, let it sit for a few minutes, then blend again. The result is a much richer, smoother hot chocolate that actually feels decadent. The exact ratios will come down to personal taste, but equal parts of the mix, powdered skim milk, and sweetener is a solid starting point. After dialling it in, I genuinely enjoy this now. It has a proper dark chocolate profile and doesn’t taste like a cheap milk-chocolate mix, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. Bottom line: not great on its own, but if you’re willing to tweak it, this becomes a very satisfying, diabetes-friendly hot chocolate that I’ll keep using.

Delicious, not the best one, but good enough

I bought this product previously and it tasted really good but I recently bought it again after a few months and they must have changed the formula because it didn’t taste right almost chemically

Actually pretty good - it actually tastes like semi-sweet chocolate. Only downsides for me is it does have that sweetness that sugar free sweeteners typical have - which is perfect when I’m craving sugar. And it’s a bit hard to dissolve with just a spoon, it can be a tad clumpy but I don’t find that problem with a frother.

Delicious and sugar free!! Good clean ingredients that worked for both my daughter and I with our dietary restrictions. She is dairy free and I was following the ketogenic diet.
