Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Collectible Gift Tins Reviewed

One of my favorite gifts that I received this year for Christmas was a set of Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Tins filled with fabulous packets of instant hot chocolate. This gift shows that my sister-in-law knows me well!

I am an unapologetic chocoholic. Any gift of chocolate is greatly appreciated. Since I enjoy a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter day, the hot cocoa was a perfect choice.

I am also a collector of glass jars and tins. I can trace my obsession to glass jars and tins to my favorite hobbies. They make excellent and inexpensive containers for all kinds of craft supplies. While glass jars are excellent for viewing contents, a tin won't break, which means they both have their place in my craft room.

The adorable gnome tins will be an awesome addition to my collection of tins in my craft room when we have finished drinking the hot cocoa. Correction: when we have finished using them for hot cocoa. I have already had to replace the hot cocoa packets in two of my new tins and it has only been a few weeks since Christmas. Most likely, I will keep two of the tins in my kitchen for continuous refills and use.

Swiss Miss Collectible Gift Tins

I had never seen the wonderful Swiss Miss tins before, but I will certainly be watching for additional sets.

When writing this article, I checked Amazon to see if they had my gnome tins available. While there, I noted some precious woodland animal Swiss Miss tins. Of course, I had to order a set of those for my craft room. I need more storage tins for craft supplies (yes, that was my excuse!) .

Each Gnome tin contains 5 packets of hot cocoa. My personal favorite is the marshmallow hot cocoa, but my husband prefers the milk chocolate. The animal tins contain 4 packets in each tin.

For the first time in my entire life, I tried the peppermint hot cocoa that came in the tins. I love it! It is my new second favorite (sorry, the marshmallow can't be beat). I also tried the caramel for the first time ever. It is good, but the competition is stiff. Still, if I run out of my marshmallow and peppermint, I'll be more than happy to enjoy a mug of caramel hot cocoa. All of the flavors are fabulous!

How to Make Swiss Miss Cocoa Packets

It is very easy to make hot cocoa with the Swiss Miss packets. Simply pour the packet of mix into a mug, add 1 cup of hot water & stir. It is important to note that you should only add 1 cup (measurement) of water. More water will dilute it and diminish the chocolatey flavor.

You can add fresh marshmallows, peppermint, or other toppings to create your own fun flavor of hot cocoa.
