Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Flavor No Sugar Added Hot Cocoa Mix Canister, 13.8 oz. (Pack of 12)

I can't find this in stores in the cans, only in little boxes with 6 or 12 servings which is crazy expensive - running almost $4 for 6 or 8 servings. I buy this under my Subscribe & Save once or twice a year because I use it for making a number of items my wife likes from straight up Hot Cocoa to Chocolate sugar-free oatmeal and more. It mizes very well with water on it's own but I do add extra powdered milk or protein powder. Sifting powdered milk through a fine sieve makes it mix right in with the fine powedered cocoa. This is a VERY good price and in a super convenient package. In our area, we can even recycle every bit of the packaging! We just pop out the metal bottom, wipe of the inner paper core with a damp dish cloth and then flatten it out and put it with the paper. The plastic lid goes with the plastics. No muss - no fuss. This doesn't come with a scooper, so we use one special 1/4 cup measure and use that as our scooper and transfer it from can to can. Some old Coffee scoops are the right size, so you can use them too if they measure out correctly. Now that's getting colder outside, give this a try if you have to watch your sugar intake. Most of the sugar in this product comes from the nonfat-dry milk, so it is lactose. If Lactose bothers you, take one of those generic Lactaid tablets before consuming.I like to make what I call "Pre-Diabetic-safe" Mexican Hot Chocolate for my wife. I add the recommended amount of the Swiss Miss (leveled off, not heaping) plus 1 drop of Vanilla Extract with an eyedropper, a small pinch of Allspice (maybe a 1/16th or 1/8th of a teaspoon) and then the same of Cinnamon and add another 1/4 cup of Nonfat Dry Milk and then double the amount of Hot water and use a whisk to forth it up. The Allspice really helps mimic the flavor of the famous Ibarra drinking Chocolate cakes that you melt into milk. My wife also uses this in her fave High Protein Oatmeal recipe. She adds 1/4 cup of this plus 1 scant half cup dry rolled oats, 1 scoop of the Jarrow Formulas Whey Protein, French Vanilla, 2 Pound Powder you can also buy on Subscribe & Save, then she adds plenty of boiling water in a large insulated cup. In about 10 minutes, it all cookes up properly if you stir it with a fork. If she needs it to be sweeter she uses her own custom mix of Pure Sucralose liquid she makes from Hard Rhino 100G 3.5 Oz. Sucralose 600X Sweeter than Sugar Pure Powder Foil Sealed for freshness. Ultra Pure Powder. and filtered water. It is way cheaper than Splenda and it doesn't have the added fiber that makes people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome sick. Trust me, THIS Hot Cocoa is almost as good as the old Carnation brand you can't find anymore, at least not in the formulation it used to be made of. This makes perfect great Hot Cocoa and you can use it to jazz up your oatmeal and she's even used it in baking. While I have heard there are better Sugar-free Hot Cocoas, most of them have far more Net Carbs than this brand and do not come on Subscribe & Save. Also, many other low-sugar hot chcolates use sugar alcohols which can act as a laxative and/or cause people with Irritable Bowel Sundrome a lot of digestive pain. I'm sticking with this brand.One last thing, there is a very small amount of Maltodextrin in each serving. For some people this can be a red flag. My wife usually can't handle products with a lot of Maltodextrin. It's fiber type ingredient added to make the powder smoother to scoop and pour. However, she can have a serving of this every day and NOT have a problem, so I would guess it's not a huge amount. The 3 primary ingredients are Whey powder (from milk) Nonfat Dry Milk and Cocoa. Maltodextrin comes in 4th by weight. If you are REALLY sensitive to MaltoDextrin, try one of the small boxes at the store FIRST. If you do OK, then order the 6 cans. Best wishes to everyone out there with special food needs and concerns!I hope this gives you the info you need to decide if this product is right for you.

Taste good and cheaper than Walmart in my area.

Makes a great homemade mocha.

It's delicious, I don't know how natural it is... but the flavor is good.

What more can be said about this well known chocolate mix? It's good, but too sweet for me.

Cheap and good.

This mix blends into hot water easily, some others clump…. This has yummy chocolate flavor!

The best hot chocolate!!!

I started bringing these on kayak trips a few years ago. After two weeks alone in the woods, the delicious psychedelic rainbows that form on the surface generate a weirdly disproportionate amount of morale. Maybe something to do with those colours being otherwise nonexistent in woodland environments? Maybe something to do with coloured marshmallows rekindling early childhood emotions? Maybe something to do with all the recreational substances in my bloodstream? Probably all of the above.The hot chocolate itself is surprisingly tasty, but the marshmallows come in separated foil pouches, so they can be repackaged with upgraded hot chocolate packets if you're feeling fancy.

Tiene muy buen sabor pero creo que es un poco elevado el precio para la cantidad de producto
