On chilly days, enjoy a taste of Sooke with River Road Hot Chocolate — it’s a warm, thoughtful, chocolatey hug in a mug.
River Road Hot Chocolate works in all those moments when you want something cozy. After a chilly walk near the Sooke Potholes or along the wild west coast. Evenings curled up with a book or playing board games with family. As a warm and welcoming beverage for guests, especially those with dietary restrictions.
Produced right here in Sooke, this treat is more than just another instant hot cocoa. It’s lactose-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free. It’s just the good stuff: high-quality chocolate, no fillers, cellulose, or texture agents. Because the mix is so clean and flexible, it’s ideal for people who have dietary restrictions such as diabetes, celiac disease, or lactose intolerance.
You have total control over the sweetness or richness of your beverage. Make it just with hot water or add your choice of sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, stevia, etc. For a richer, creamier mouthfeel, heat and add dairy or plant-based milk. Topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon, whipped cream, or even shaved chocolate, it becomes a decadent treat.
As a premium mix without fillers, a little goes a long way. You only need to use one level teaspoon per cup. It is available in 100g bags, which makes about 40 cups, in two flavours:
- Original Dark Chocolate contains only cacao, cinnamon and a touch of cayenne.
- Ginger Matcha
