Chocolate Delicioso de México





Hot Chocolate is an amazingly comforting beverage on a chilly day. But maybe you would like a hot chocolate with a taste that is a bit more intriguing. But one that also has some history behind it.
ABUELITA, which translated means “grandma,” is a cinnamon-infused Mexican chocolate that has been a favorite in Mexico for generations. With the perfect blend of cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon-- an essential ingredient in Mexican kitchens for generations-- and sugar, ABUELITA, now brought to you by Nestle, is the number one brand in the Mexican chocolate category in the U.S. This authentic chocolate offers a convenient way to enjoy traditional Hispanic recipes in the comfort of your home. Delivering distinctively delicious flavor, this one-of-a-kind chocolate is available in three forms:


ABUELITA Chocolate Tablets
Heated and stirred with milk over a hot stove, these traditional chocolate tablets contain the perfect blend of chocolate and cinnamon (6 tabs, 12 x 19 oz., SRP $2.34).


ABUELITA Chocolate Syrup
Drizzled over ice cream or on fruit, or mixed into chocolate milk or a milkshake, this convenient no-drip bottle allows you to enjoy the delicious taste of ABUELITA cold (22 oz., SRP $2.23).


ABUELITA Instant Chocolate Drink
Perfect on-the-go or at home, these single serve instant cocoa envelopes can be dissolved in milk or water, delivering a steaming cup of hot chocolate in minutes (10 packets, 12 x 10 oz., SRP $2.41).


A word about the packaging. The image on the front portrays a grandmother (ie. Abuelita). Sara García is the name of the woman on the actual package. In the '40s, she played the role of Abuelita Luisa García in a television drama series. After the '40s, she played many roles in which she was a symbol of love and kindness. Her success was so great that she became known to everyone as "The Abuelita of Mexican cinema."


So, lift a cup of Abuelita Hot Chocolate to Sara García and whomever you wish, and enjoy.
