Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - If you're not getting enough calcium, a suggestion is to make hot cocoa. Adults can substitute a cup of cocoa made with skim milk for a cup of coffee and children who don't drink enough milk, will rarely turn down a hot cocoa.
When made with milk instead of water, hot cocoa is healthier, and tastes creamier.
Speaking of taste, Consumer Reports taste testers cooked up 10 cocoas from all the top brands, and the winner was Ghiradelli Double Chocolate. It's rich and thick with a big milk chocolate flavor.
If you prefer the taste of dark chocolate, this Hershey's Reserve came in a close second, and Swiss Milk Dark Chocolate Sensation came in third...and it's a lot less expensive.
The worst cocoa was this Nestle Milk Chocolate. Testers said it had an artificial-sweetener taste and a powdered milk flavor.
