I don’t want to put Hershey’s syrup in my Nectar of the Gods. A chunk of dark chocolate in the cup doesn’t do the trick. Have my fellow Dopers found a chocolate flavor that is to die for?? Thanks ---

This sounds stupid but it is really great. Put a teaspoon of General Foods International Swiss Mocha powered mix into a good strong cup of coffee and it is quite good. Not sweet but a nice taste of chocolate. ---

Semisweet chocolate chips are nice. ---

Starbucks has a nice Mocha powder that we have in the kitchen cabinet. It comes in a square tin container, and is verrrry good. ---

My wife and I have tested a lot, and we have come up with exactly one that works very, very well: Make your cup 12-16 oz., half coffee, half heated milk. Add 1 heaping tsp. of Ghirardelli Chocolate Mocha mix. No other variety of Ghirardelli is as good, nothing else really comes close. Sugar, cinnamon or caramel as well if that’s your taste. ---

I didn’t know they had a Mocha powder they sell. I will have to check that out! ---

Thanks folks. I’ll try these ideas. Bob- I tried putting some Ghirardelli baking chocolate in the coffee and it didn’t turn out too well. Is baking chocolate a poor choice? The powder ideas sound really good. I’ll look for the Ghirardelli powder. There are no Starbucks in the area. (I’m near Las Cruces, NM for a while) Thanks again, Lee ---

I like to put about a tablespoon of good dark cocoa and about half as much demera sugar in a big ol’ mug, and then add coffee, while stirring to make sure that it blends in nicely. Then add a bit of cream. Oh yeah. ---

At some Gloria Jeans in Australia (I’m not sure if they operate in the US), they sell these DELICIOUS coffee beans under then name “Mudslide”. They have a lovely chocolate flavour through them and are just beautiful. ---

I do about the same as **Larry Mudd** does. 'Cept I use expresso coffee and hot milk instead of regular coffee and cream. ---

I can’t vouch for baking chocolate, these are chocolate drink powders that come in cans. ---

Eww if it was baking chocolate it was probably very bitte since its unsweetened r … Have you tried some of the flavored creamers that international delight make ? They do have gloria jeans in america but I think they were bought out by something called le perk It sucks since I cant get a milky way coffee anymore …\
