Guittard Grand Cacao Drinking Chocolate Mix 10 oz — Red-Dutch Processed with Real Vanilla

Made by Guittard in the classic red dutch tradition, this 10-ounce canister blends Red-Dutch cocoa powder with ground chocolate and real vanilla to create a silky, aromatic drinking chocolate. The recipe is all-natural, non-GMO, peanut-free and gluten-free, so you get indulgent flavor without common allergens or artificial additives. Use it to make hot chocolate, flavor milkshakes, or enrich coffee and baked recipes.

How does this drinking chocolate differ from ordinary cocoa powder?

Unlike single-ingredient cocoa powder, Guittard Grand Cacao mixes Red-Dutch processed cocoa with ground chocolate, giving it a thicker mouthfeel and deeper chocolate notes. The Dutch process reduces acidity for a rounder taste, while the added chocolate contributes creaminess and aroma.

• Red-Dutch processing for smoother, less acidic flavor
• Includes ground chocolate for richer body and aroma
• Real vanilla for balanced sweetness and depth
• Ready-to-mix formulation for hot drinks and recipes

What’s the best way to prepare a cup of Guittard Grand Cacao hot chocolate?

For a classic hot chocolate, whisk 2–3 tablespoons of the mix into 8 ounces of hot milk or milk alternative until fully dissolved and steaming. Adjust the scoop to taste; heat gently to preserve flavor and froth for a café-style finish.

• Start with 2–3 tbsp mix per 8 oz warmed milk
• Whisk or use a handheld frother for a velvety texture
• Top with whipped cream or a dusting of the mix for presentation
• Try with espresso for a mocha-style beverage

Can I use this product in baking or other recipes?

Yes—Guittard Grand Cacao works well as a flavor booster in brownies, ganache, custards, and milkshakes. Because it contains both cocoa powder and ground chocolate, it adds both chocolate strength and a touch of sweetness; adjust added sugar accordingly when used in desserts.

• Add to batters for deeper chocolate color and flavor
• Blend into frostings or ganache for richer texture
• Mix into smoothies or milkshakes for chocolate intensity
• Reduce other sweeteners as needed because of its inherent sweetness
