My fiancee does it all the time - packet of hot cocoa and a scoop of Nescafe. Although, she adds benefiber too for the health benefits and to make it a touch thicker.

A guy I work with mixes a packet of cocoa with a cup of coffee then adds about 5 tablespoons of sugar. I'm not sure if it's a morning drink or dessert.

If you go to the $1 section of Target, you might find some Ghiradelli chocolate flavored coffees for $1 each.

They're more chocolatey than typical flavored coffee's. I'd say a lot like mixing coffee and cocoa.

I know I've posted this a few times on ATOT, but I make mochas quite a lot. A different view.

It's quite good, but really some espressos can exhibit much of the same qualities of chocolate that the powder is more just for appearance rather than flavor. My favored drink is the espresso macchiato or a traditional cappuccino.

It is indeed...and it's great...

Next, add a shot or two of peppermint schnapps to the cup...
