Swiss Miss or Cafe Escapes Hot Chocolate?


Adam Fagan and Doug Zellers testing the waters.

During a tough debate on what hot chocolate brand takes the cake, we found ourselves at a divide. Does Swiss Miss make the best hot chocolate? While we were all in agreement Swiss Miss isn’t a gourmet hot chocolate, we wanted to put some flavors to the test. We put two flavors head to head – Cafe Escape’s original Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate options. Unfortunately after many disposable cups were crushed, and words exchanged, our panel couldn’t find a winner. Two of our testers preferred the original milk chocolate, and the other two ranked dark chocolate as king.

There was no tie breaker available. But after all was said and done, we were all in agreement a mixture of the two in one cup was pretty wonderful. Which flavor do you prefer?
