Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Showdown

Who doesn't love a piping hot cup of hot cocoa during the chillier months? I for one am an absolute hot cocoa addict during the winter time; so when I received this Swiss Miss hot cocoa set as a gift I got super excited. Each box is a different flavor of hot cocoa. The set includes your classic milk chocolate as well as Mint, French Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, and Caramel Cream. I drank a different flavor every day and ranked them from least favorite to ultimate goodness. :)

1. (Least fav.) French Vanilla: Honestly, I couldn't taste much vanilla in this one. There might have been a slight noticeable difference if you drank it side-by-side with the milk chocolate one, but on its own I couldn't tell.

2. Milk Chocolate: This one is technically tied with the Vanilla one since they taste very similar. The only reason this one is ranked higher is because it actually lives up to its flavor.

3. Caramel Cream: My first reaction to this hot chocolate was that it tasted like smores. Over time it did taste more and more like caramel. One of the better flavors in the set. :)

4. Dark Chocolate Sensation: This one is a lot richer than your average milk chocolate cocoa. Those who prefer dark chocolate will really enjoy this one. 

5. THE WINNER IS......

Mint Chocolate: It came as no surprise to find that this was my favorite flavor out of the set. I love Starbuck's peppermint mocha and this reminded me of it. The taste reminds me of thin mint girl scout cookies. Absolute delish!
