Works fine as a single serve of 8oz. Works better topped with dark roast Starbucks, kahlua, and French Vanilla creamer in a giant cup! Use this pod first and then do the dark roast so you don’t have to fool with running water through the pot to clean it. This product can get a plastic taste, so tap the pod to shake up the powder and keep the level at 6-8oz. Do not store in the fridge. Available locally but check the dates. All food chemistry changes a bit with shelf time. Read the label. Enjoy!
This is a good and fast hot chocolate product offering that my whole family enjoys, and actually prefer it over the 4-5 different Keurig-enabled hot chocolates I’ve purchased here on Amazon; this larger unit count per box is more economical on a per-cup basis. While I don't drink that much hot chocolate, my family does and they like the quick and easy way they can make a cup vs. warming up water in the microwave, stirring, etc. I think it tastes a little better than the Butternut and Nestle brands - throw in a few marshmellows and you are set!
Here are the things to look out for when brewing hot chocolate with your Keurig that works for us:
1. Make sure you shake the cocoa container real well prior to putting the pod in the Keurig: the powder / mix tends to clump, and you don't want that to be the case when you brew a cup or else it will taste a little watery, and you run the risk of clumping while brewing which will make the water overflow out the top of your Keurig and make abig ‘ole mess.
2. The hot chocolate tends to be thicker and can clog up the filtration / water lines (or whatever they call it). After you make a cup of hot chocolate, immediately run a medium cycle of just hot water. You'll see what I mean with the cloudiness of the water coming out at this cycle as it cleans out the water line. Make sure you put a cup under it when you do it or you'll have a mess!
3. If you want a "richer" hot chocolate experience, use the small or medium setting. It all depends upon your viewpoint: my son and I like the small setting, and my wife and daughter like the medium setting. Don't forget the marshmellows!
Oh, sweet chocolate at 60 calories, how I love thee!
The best hot cocoa K-cup we have tried. Works best with the 8oz or lesser cup size. Anything more than 8oz and it loses some flavor and texture.
Best to stir it a bit after brewing.
We originally bought 48 for the winter. Then bought another 48, then 76 pack and now another 76 pack! You just can't beat this for a chocolate craving or comfort food. Chocolaty, sweet, velvety goodness for only 60 calories!
Given as Christmas gifts to 2 friends that I often visit. Hot Chocolate is great however the cartridge only makes 6 ounces of Hot Chocolate making it on one friends Kerug Coffee maker a bit of a chore as he has to change settings to the smaller mug size. I don’t know if I spelled that right as I don’t own one. Merry Christmas as the friend with the older Kurig machine was given a brand new on by her employer in the company grab bag. Hopefully it has the control panel where you just push the bigger cup. This Hot Chocolate is to good for just a 6 once cup which is a shame because that means 2 tubs for each 12 once mug of Hot Chocolate.
These cups work with the 2.0 system, which is why I bought them. We go through a lot of cocoa here in the winter, and even though it is a little bit more expensive way to make a cup of cocoa, the kids love that they can use the Keurig, too. My only advice would be to shake the K-Cup before putting it in the machine and to run some hot water after a few cups to keep the machine running properly. We have had the brewer shut down and not make the drink because of a clumped cup, and I noticed that lattes and cocoa leave a little bit of residue behind.

I live in Minnesota. I like hot chocolate. These pods are great at the 6 ounce or 8 ounce cup size. MUCH improved hot chocolate than what I got to use with my old Tassimo machine. Hooked on Kuerig now.
The best cocoa I have found for the Keruig.
Very good Coco! Once and awhile do need to clean the poker for the bottom of the cup. But that is not a problem. I never used to drink Coco till I got these. Now I drink more of these than soda.
Delicious hot coco. -- full, rich chocolate flavor. Would never know it wasn't fresh brewed from scratch. K-cups work perfectly in my Keurig coffee maker.
My husband loves hot chocolate, but hate the mess that powders make. Being able to make this in our coffee makes is a plus. Chocolate is rich and delish
