Happy Belly Hot Cocoa Pods, Milk Chocolate, 24 Count

This is my second order for these hot chocolate K-Cups. I consider them a winner, especially compared to other “name brands”. Good chocolate flavor and makes a good cup of cocoa-provided you reduced the amount of recommended water. However, for a great cup here’s my recipe: Any cocoa drink made with 8 ounces of water is going to taste watery. I learned long ago to ignore instant cocoa instructions and experiment with less water. My coffee maker there has an espresso setting that limits the amount of water-the 2-cups setting dispenses 3-4 oz. At this setting, these pods taste really good but are still a bit thin. To remedy that and make the best instant cocoa ever, I drop in a square of quality milk chocolate (like Cadbury's or Aldi’s Choceur) plus a dash of cream (for texture and that buttercream taste that makes you think it’s real milk). Microwave to your preferred drinking temp and blend it all together. Optionally, top it off with whipped cream. This recipe really helps, particularly if your coffee maker won’t accommodate smaller cups. Enjoy

I love drinking Hot Chocolate, I am not a fan of coffee, so this is my everyday cup of “Joe” and it has a great chocolate flavor, it is rich, but not overpowering either, I usually make a 8 or 10 ounce cup, and they both are very flavorful. They are at a reasonable price and you also get more for the price, compared to in store hot chocolate. I have ordered many boxes already, and I will order more too!

I was truly surprised at how good these cocoa pods really are. I have looked at them for two years and not purchased because I thought the packets were better. However, I am seriously going to purchase the pods again and again because I can make a large mug and it’s not watery and, in fact, is just right in body and sweetness. Highly recommended.

Good taste. It's a bit too sweet, but adding some milk makes it taste fine.

Love it!

Have tried many hot chocolates. This ranks right up at the top for taste.

Sorry Amazon, this one is kinda a miss. I appreciate that it's cheaper than name brand hot cocoas, but it tastes that way, too. Swiss Miss k-cups are about 150% better-tasting.The convenience of K-cups is great but it seems like hot cocoa is still best made in the old-school way: powder and water... or better yet: chocolate-bar and milk.

Far better than name brands. My family really enjoys it.
