Why does this mix well with milk when I can't get regular baking cocoa to mix in well? Is it because of some specific ingredient?

The reason this mixes well with milk is because it contains, "Carrageenan" which is an emulsifier. However, carrageenan is not a additive that I would want in anything I ingest. Read what Dr. Weil and others say about this additive. I stopped using CocoaVia because of this. Suggest using a small electric mixer. I use a Cuisinar hand mixer myself.

1 ounce cocoa + 2.2 ounce sugar + 3 ounce non-fat dry milk powder + dash of salt. I use these proportions to make a mix, which I shake up in a big container and store in covered jar. I do this for each of my 4 gourmet cocoa powders and store in respective jars. To prepare, I put X amount by weight of this mix in a cup and heat to boiling 3X water, and pour in cup and stir.

I mix it in with whole milk - one scoop per sippy cup. It ends up having the consistency of melted ice cream.

I use the 12 ounce setting. Sometimes I need to stir some undissolved foam powder. Enjoy! (If you like chocolate try the mocha latte, it's delicious too)

for one cup, mix the cocoa (2TB) with about 2 TB brown sugar and 1 TB water first then add 1 cup milk and heat until it starts to boil. Add a splash of vanilla at the end. Just experiment, my measurements may be off a little.

We are all chocoholics so I start with a generous amount of the cocoa and sweetener to taste (splenda, Monin sugar-free vanilla syrup, agave syrup or just simple white table sugar), then I froth the milk (soy, almond, coconut, or cow's milk - if you use a pre-sweetened milk you'll need to adjust the sweetener down) over it while I stir to ensure the cocoa melts fully. My kids love this special "latte." If my frother is not working or I need a larger amount, I heat up the milk on the stove, and then add the cocoa as it tends to clump up if put in when the milk is cold. On snow days, I'll add the mini marshmallows for an extra treat.

you add water with the chocolate mix,.. I use milk,. regular or 2%. Its a great little machine. Its mixes and heats the content to a perfect temperature automatically and shuts off.

Sorry - I had bought this "chocolate" many months ago, so I no longer have the bag. But, as it says no tempering then it won't contain cocoa butter so it isn't what I call real chocolate. I ended up just melting it in the melting pot and dipping potato chips in it. I then bought good quality couverture for my molded chocolates.

Cocoa butter is very temperature sensitive. I've ordered this three times and each time it had melted into one solid mass when it got to me. This doesn't bother me, since I melt it anyway.

The ingredient list states: Cocoa, Cocoa processed with Alkali.... It doesn't specifically list dairy...

FYI, I first bought Cadbury's many years ago, and they used to say the following in their microwave instructions: mix the powder in a mug with a small amount of milk until it forms a paste, then add the rest of the milk and stir. This is the easiest way to get that powder incorporated with the milk. Delicious!

Put liquid in, either milk or water to fill line. Add in hot cocoa & other ingredients to your liking. Put the lid on in the closed position, push the on button & it will mix itself. It'll turn off on it's own when it's been heated up to the programmed temperature. Pretty simple! Good luck! I've had mine forever, also grew up with one & now my family & I absolutely love it!! ❤

No idea. I use this for baking chocolate cakes and I love it, the Hersheys powders always seem to work the best for me (special dark is the best).

I use 12oz of hot milk, 3T of cocoa, 2T white sugar, a dash of salt, and a touch of vanilla. But I like DARK hot chocolate, so this will definitely not be everyone's taste!

This does not blend well in milk. I would order the cacao liquor/paste product (made by the same company).

I always mix it with a mug of milk I microwaved for 2 minutes and put some mini marshmallows on top. Nothing better!! If you like mint, drop a few mint chocolate chips in and mix well for a change.

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.
