I googled it and it came a link with Amazon with how to buy it ? Seems pretty straightforward or just use the 70%dark chocolate offered as an alternative?

70% dark chocolate would work as Amy says, tho it's different from other chocolate in a few ways, Mark. It's usually used for hot chocolate and sometimes added to moles and other Mexican dishes and it's flavoured with cinnamon. Interestingly it also has a low cocoa solids percentage as it's sold as drinking chocolate - the Ibarra website says 30% and the sugar in the tablet chocolate is kept granulated and not usually eaten like dessert chocolate. It's pretty easily sourced in the US - Mexgrocer carry it on their websites and is available at Safeway, Walmart, Target, Albertsons, and a slew of other outlets. If you wanted to make the Mexican chocolate souffle, you'll probably want to get hold of Ibarra or another Mexican drinking chocolate. If not, I would use 90% dark chocolate and raw/golden granulated sugar (commonly used in Mexico) at 30% chocolate to 70% sugar with a bit of cinnamon added.

The chocolate souffle recipe says 12.4oz/350g Mexican chocolate, so 3.5oz/100g 90% dark chocolate and 9oz/250g raw granulated sugar and say a 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, preferably Mexican canela.

Thank you for all the Intel.

There are what appear to be two different types on the me grocery website. Either this

Or this

Is there a difference between the two or wouldn't it much matter?????? Drinking/hot chocolate?? To me that is like adding Nestlé quick to a recipe that calls for cocoa

Thanks for the help
