Hills Bros Double Chocolate Moca Cappuccino, 16 oz.

A++

Bought this for my dad. I love it too. Good quality, good price, great blend of flavors.

This flavor, as well as a variety of others by the same brand are used in my baking. They are mild enough to add an extra bite to your flavors without knocking you to the floor. This particular blend of flavors adds a pleasant chocolate and coffee boost to base confections without masking your main flavor. Great addition to my baking shelf for very little money

Most drink mixes that say “Just add to water” are just making a joke. Steamed milk and cocoa is where it’s at. But I don’t want to deal with that every night. You really just add the Double Mocha Cappuccino mix to hot water and you are all set. The texture isn’t grainy. It tastes delicious. It’s not the cheapest indulgence but it’s far from the most expensive.

I love the mocha flavor and this is only way I can get it. The stores here done have that flavor

This is a review for three variants of these drink mixes, all bought at the same time. I do realize that some things are subjective (I will get to that) in the review though…. I usually start with Pros but I will start with Cons on this review Cons: - (NOT included) the value or “price for value” … I got this with a little bit of a discount on each container… and with the price of EVERYTHING shooting through “the roof” at the time I am typing this, it’s one of those “meh… not a great price, but not bad … similar products are a lot more.. meh” sort of things… to be fair I will not include that but mention the thinking behind it. - The packaging .. this is the big one … I DID get all 3 lids but they were no where near on the product when I opened the box. The “foil” over the product (only thing keeping it from flying all over the other stuff in the order) is really thin too … one of those “I wouldn’t normally notice or care” things but the combo of the two are NOT GOOD … NOTHING spilled in my order, but this company needs to use thicker “foil” for sealing it, and a better packaging for the lids (even now they tend to not go on really secure, when say my CONTAINER of Swiss Miss Hot Coco mix, is plastic but it goes on it’s container with no issue like this. AGAIN for me it could have been an issue and this is a “room for improvement” thing, but nothing spilled. - GIVEN what I said about value being an iffy thing to consider these days … and the packaging above .. that is REALLY the only cons… not counting subjective stuff - I SUPPOSE compared to older versions of these that people show with a lot less sugar and less calories that CAN BE an issue for some and … I get it (would have liked to taste the “healthier” versions) but meh … just want to point that out. Pros: - Taste (subjective): once I knew how much to use (I tried less than recommended in case it was just as good but … you have to use a bit more than I was expecting … like maybe what is in a “pouch” of typical hot chocolate or a little spoonful MORE but ABOUT that amount. I purchased the Double Mocha (chocolate) regular version, the White Mocha (white chocolate) caramel, and the French Vanilla .. they all tasted … decent (like a version OF a hot chocolate) hot … but recently I tried all three … made with steaming (doesn’t have to be boiling but steaming good at least) water, stir it up GOOD… THEN WAIT for it to cool and then put in the fridge for later (I use old travel “coffee mugs” with lids) … to me .. again this is where it’s subjective… ALL THREE tasted better chilled the following day (made sure I stirred/mixed them up good right after I poured the hot water in the day before) … like not to say they are bad warm.. but my opinion is they all were better chilled … and to be honest I CAN’T SAY which one I like better .. I liked all three … even (ignoring value/price) CONSIDERING trying the Salted Carmel type one or what some fans of the Double Mocha (Chocolate) one said as the Double Mocha SUGAR FREE one “is apparently really good”. ------------------------ Value wise it can be “iffy” to say but ignoring that “yes or no? Would I recommend?” YES … it has to be a good price but I’d not say “these are horrible” or anything either. The big issue is the packaging and I felt like others who uploaded pictures … the mixes COULD have been all over the other things in the order AND wasted too (since I couldn’t use that mix). If the company “fixes” that… one of the biggest “cons” I have with this is gone.
