Hot Cocoa Time! Land O Lakes Classic Dark



What:  Extra Chocolatey Hot Cocoa

Where:  USA

Why Should I Care:  The thing I've noticed about dark chocolate cocoa is that it generally has more cocoa with the same amount of sugar and cream.  I mean, dark chocolate is pretty much just more chocolate and less milk.  Anyway, this is usually my stand-by when I drink hot chocolate

Packaging:  Foil bag



Non-Taste Senses:  It's a little darker and grayer than your average cocoa and smells more chocolaty 

Taste:  Oh man, it's so chocolaty.  It still has the same creaminess of the other ones but with double the cocoa

Overall:  If you like chocolate, check this out.  If not, stay away from this.

My Rating:  Try it.

Hot Cocoa Time! Land O Lakes Chocolate Graham hot cocoa



What:  Graham Cracker Hot Cocoa?

Where:  USA

Why Should I Care:  I'm guessing this is supposed to taste like chocolate and wheat.  Also, this is theoretically the best cocoa for marshmallows.

Packaging:  Foil package



Non-taste Senses:  It looks like hot cocoa but it smells like...coconut?

Taste:  It tastes like chocolate with coconut too.  I dunno.  The hot cocoa portion of it is really rich and creamy but that added bit of coconut throws me off.  It's ok but it's not something I recommend to people.

Overall:  I've tried about 7 flavors of Land o Lakes and this one's my least favorite.  I'm pretty sure it's seasonal and that's how it should stay.

My Rating:  Pass.  This particular flavor is special edition so you're not going to find it on the site.

Hot Coco Time! Land O Lakes Chocolate Suprime



What:  Regular ol' hot cocoa

Where:  USA

Why Should I Care:  I honestly just felt like having some hot cocoa.  It IS that type of weather, plus hot cocoa's great for people who have major chocolate cravings.  Even it it's 150 calories per cup, that's better than 300 calories per bar (the excuses I make).  I also have a bunch of hot cocoa so I figured, why not!

Packaging:  Land O Lakes is nice and uses foil packages as opposed to paper.  Well, that's not so nice for the earth-loving hippies but whatever.



Non-Taste Senses:  It looks like normal hot cocoa and it smells like normal hot cocoa.

Taste:  I think the best thing about this brand is that they don't skimp on the (powdered) milk.  It's super creamy while still having a nice chocolaty flavor.  It's also nice and thick so it kinda fools you into thinking you're drinking milk instead of water.

Overall:  I like this brand.  It's rich, creamy and has everything you want in standard hot cocoa.  Check it out.

My Rating:  Try it!  Here's the site.
