I was hesitant to try the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa simply because I don't normally like hot cocoa. In most cases, I much prefer hot chocolate. But, I really wanted a hot chocolate k-cup that I could make quickly when needed to warm up. So, I kept tasting and testing. My search is now finished and I extremely surprised that it has ended with a hot cocoa k-cup instead of hot chocolate. Regardless, I am thrilled the search is over and I have a k-cup that meets, and exceeds, my requirements.
Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups
Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups, Milk Chocolate, 72 CountCheck PriceI tried several different brands of hot chocolate k-cups, but most of them tasted like nasty hot water. As I said, I was hesitant to venture into the hot cocoa k-cups. I really didn't wish to waste my money, again. However, the Swiss Miss cocoa is a real winner!The Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa from the k-cup has a nice rich and delicious taste. Plus, it really does have a milk chocolate flavor just like the package states. Since it is made with water, and not milk, it isn't as thick as a homemade cup of hot cocoa, but it doesn't have that cocoa aftertaste.
Now, when I come in from the cold, I have a fast and easy hot drink to warm me up. Oh, and it is extra delicious with those little marshmallows added.
The Snow Leopard Mug
Snow Leopard Coffee MugCheck PriceThe snow leopard mug you see filled with the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa in the photo, is available on Zazzle. It is one of my own personal photos that I have made available on a variety of Zazzle products. The Snow Leopard mug does seem totally appropriate for warm hot cocoa on a cold day.Visually, I think the marshmallows bring out the beauty of the Snow Leopard's gorgeous fur.
My mug is a little different from the one that is offered on Zazzle. In my desire to feature the snow leopard face, I didn't realize I had off-centered the image until I got my own mug in the mail. At that time, I went back into the Zazzle mug image set-up and centered the image on each side.

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups Reviewed Written by:
So nice to have a good recommendation for hot cocoa K-Cups. You are right in wanting one that tastes like home made hot chocolate. Definitely the perfect drink for cold winter days. Although.... I prefer a bit of whipped cream in mine, rather than the marshmallows. Then, after a few warming sips, I like to leave enough cocoa in the cup to dunk my toast in. (Taught to me as a child by my great-grandmother who did the same in her coffee). :)
ReplyDeleteYour Snow Leopard coffee mug is beautiful. The perfect animal to feature on a mug for cocoa.
I actually never thought to buy these for K-cups! Mom has a different machine, but I'm sure they make it for hers too. When I visit her I'm going to check to see if they make them for her machine. I'm trying to remember the darn name of her machine, it's popular. Anyway, it never occurred to me to use it for hot chocolate. This brand sounds so good as well. YUM.
