Drinking chocolate measurement?

[flobadob]

I bought two jars of different drinking chocolate during the week. When I looked at the instructions it says on them both to use FOUR HEAPED TEASPOONS per cup of hot chocolate. Why the heck don't they just increase the concentration of chocolate per jar so that someone only has to use one spoon, like you would when making coffee, unless you are a caffeine freak?

I suppose that's their recommended amount for an average cup. I don't use that much personally as I prefer it weaker, if I drink it at all. What annoys me more is the amount of sugar in it - don't like sweet drinks

If it had more cocoa it would be....cocoa. Hot chocolate has extra sugar in it. You don't mention whether this is instant drink..in which case it also has dried milk in it. If you do use cocoa remember to mix it with a little water first or it will glob up and not dissolve.
