Starbucks Hot Cocoa, Peppermint, 7 Ounce

It is a 3 star, n out t 5 star. But my non 5 star reviews don’t get posted.Hardly any chocolate flavor. Can taste some of the mint. It really tasted like sweet minty milk. No coco flavor to be found. Will skip this one. Tin is pretty though for the holidays.

We use this to make cafe peppermint mochas with our espresso machine which is a big hit for our friends and family. It tastes just like the cafe peppermint mochas which come out near Christmas from Starbucks. For the price this is pretty expensive compared to just the regular chocolate hot cocoa Starbucks sells so I would use it sparingly or in conjunction with the regular chocolate espresso.

I love Starbucks' hot chocolate because it isn't too sweet. It is smooth in my mouth, yet I don't feel like I'm getting a sugar fix or like I'm ingesting 42 chemicals with the texture of fabric softener. It is simple, yet not so simple as to be thin and weak...the chocolate is strong on the tongue. (I use 2 level tablespoons per 8oz almond milk.) It's also very satisfying to taste the peppermint, but to not feel like I'm eating several candy canes at once. I have cut out almost all sugar in my diet now for some years (having replaced it with KAL's stevia) and I get grossed out at many sickeningly sweet foods/drinks. I make my own versions of many foods. This cocoa may have some sugar, but it is subtle and tasty, not overwhelming. I appreciate that.

Product arrived dented; Non-returnable and non-refundable. Was planning to give for a gift and expected can to arrive presentable and intact.Ordered twice and same thing happened. Contacted Starbucks customer service as directed by Amazon. Starbucks customer service told me to contact Amazon for a refund. Frustrating and disappointing.

I love this stuff. The only problem is that the can size is deceiving. The product only fills about 1/3 of the can.

A little weak on taste, use plenty!

I really enjoyed this cocoa mix. Simple to make. Like that it calls for milk and not water. Makes it more creamy.I recommend this

Grandson usually gets it for Christmas. I bought him some for his birthday and he will be surprise and think it is Christmas.
