Castle Kitchen Marvelous Mint Dark Hot Chocolate Mix

Well balanced ingredients. Good mint flavor but not too much. Love the fact there are less unnecessary fillers, just chocolate and mint. Best cocoa mix on the market.

So yum, just the right amount of mint. Will buy again

Love this! The taste is amazing! Will continue to buy.

Container was fully sealed, but when opened it was only half full. I know it is filled by weight and some settling would happen over time. But it is very weird for its container to be only half full, that means it is filled with half air and air can make food products age in staleness and be less fresh....though this being cocoa and sugar those shouldn't go stale, but since the mint is listed only as natural flavor then I have no idea if it can go stale or not (whether it is made with any oils that may age badly or not). The flavor was dark chocolate and mint that was sweetened with sugar. It does dissolve fairly quickly and stir easily into warm to hot water/coffee. A strong cup will have excess chocolate collect near the bottom of your cup as you drink it, so a stirring near the end is beneficial just like any other cocoa mix. I gave it 4 stars mostly for only half filling the container. Either they could use a vibrating machine to settle the product as the container is filled if it is a settling issue and therefore use smaller containers to more accurately portray the amount therein. Or they have purposely made a doubly large container to falsely portray double the amount actually within the container to customers who may buy it when comparing sizes and prices. Either way it is a false and misleading container for the actual amount inside it; if I had a small kitchen scale I would of measured the contents to see if it was really 14 ounces or not. I am glad I bought this to see if it would be a good option for some Christmas gifts. I do not think half full containers will make nice Christmas gifts no matter the quality of the chocolate inside, people would feel like they received a messed up product missing half its contents...so it would be seen as only half a gift. I must therefore give this product only half the stars it could get since I received only half a container of product. So 2.5 stars, since it is enjoyable I rounded up to 3.

This has the best flavor of any hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted, even beating out the Ghirardelli’s hot chocolate at Krispy Kreme because it has mint. My only complaint is that one of the containers in my last order came very damaged and had to be gotten rid of. Annoying but I’m still undeterred from buying more. If I hadn’t had this experience, they would definitely get a 5 star review.

This is the MOST outstanding best tasting hot cocoa mix I’ve ever had. Hands down. I took it to my family holiday party and it was gone within hours. Rich taste, easy to use and dissolves easily and quickly. Everyone loves it.

Our son has milk and egg allergies, and all the typical hot chocolate mixes at the store are not suitable for him. This is his favorite milk-free hot chocolate that we've tried so far. He mixes it with vanilla soy milk and just loves it. I've tried it with regular milk and find it delicious that way as well. We do have some issues with the hot cocoa not fully mixing in with the soy milk (leaves small clumps), but that is a very minor issue in our mind. But something to keep in mind if you're looking for something that mixes smoothly with soy milk. Maybe there's a trick to it that we don't know, but we do get those little lumps with mixing!

Good hot chocolate... Very tasty...and healthy. I would buy this hot chocolate again. I even have added it to my coffee.
