For Starbucks Hot Cocoa in Peppermint
What it is:
A dark, velvety cocoa with the pleasing tingle of peppermint.
Key Ingredients:
Sugar, cocoa, peppermint candy, vanilla powder.
How It Looks/Smells/Tastes:
This was way too dark for my taste. Instead of being velvety, I thought it was powdery tasting. It smells like peppermint bark and in your cup, it looks like dark chocolate with little candy cane pieces floating throughout it.
Why I Like It:
I liked the decorative tin and this was 5 USD for seven servings, which is less expensive than 6 of the VIA packets. I also really wanted to try a Starbucks hot chocolate. The end result was pretty disappointing. I did not enjoy this hot chocolate and I would not buy or recommend it. I do recommend the K cups, especially the caramel hot chocolate. Those were delicious compared to this. I like that the cocoa is sourced ethically, but I did not like this one. It was a struggle to finish it.

The one in Starbucks is always so good so it’s sad that this isn’t. 😦
I need to try this at Starbucks.
It is really good there. Though I haven’t had it in almost 2 years. I usually get one each Christmas and last year I didn’t bother.
Why not?
I wasn’t in the mood for hot chocolate, I guess. I drink maybe 2 or 3 cups a year at home, it’s not something I have all the timez
I drink a ton more than you. Lol
That you do! I probably drink more black tea though. Lol.
That’s true. I drink like none. Lol. Well a little bit. I drink more coffee too. Lol.
I don’t drink coffee at all unless it’s in a frappucino. Lol
Lol.
