Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Review

Like the members of our tasting panel, consumer reviewers of Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate hot cocoa like the drink's creaminess and chocolaty taste. One of our tasters said the beverage seemed as though it "already had marshmallows in it." Although a couple of panelists at our hands-on Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate hot cocoa review noted the absence of a "strong chocolate flavor," many were enthused about its old-time familiarity. Without knowing which products were in the sample, one participant said "it tastes like what I grew up with." The panel concluded that this hot cocoa mix was definitely sweet but not excessively so.

Online Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate hot cocoa reviews are largely positive. At Staples, for example, consumers report drinking it in the morning rather than coffee and they crow about the taste. Other Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate hot cocoa reviews at Epinions say it's delicious, creamy, and smooth, and at Sam's Club consumers tell of hoarding it in preparation for the warmer months when the retailer doesn't stock it. But elsewhere Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate hot cocoa reviews complain about the recent addition of the artificial sweetener sucralose in the canister and K-cup versions, saying the taste is off, too sweet, and lacking in what had been chocolate richness.

The formulas for Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate cocoa mix vary slightly, depending on the packaging, but the lead components are always sugar and corn syrup; the ingredients also include nonfat dry milk, sometimes whey and sometimes sucralose. There are 140 calories in a single serving. The milk chocolate version of the mix is available in single-serve packets and K-cups, and in bulk canisters. Swiss Miss hot cocoa comes in a variety of formulations: Classic (milk chocolate, milk chocolate with calcium, rich chocolate, and two types with marshmallows); Sensible Sweets (diet and no sugar); and Indulgent (French Vanilla, Mint, Chocolate Truffle, Dark Chocolate, and Caramel).

For the most part, Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate should satisfy the yearnings of frugal chocoholics. But if you're at all sensitive to artificial sweeteners, read the fine print on the package. Although most varieties now contain sucralose, not all do.
