Land O’Lakes Cocoa Classics Supreme
Although it’s made with water, several tasters said this mix (shown) seemed to be made with milk. Others described it as “surprisingly
creamy” and “smooth and milk-chocolaty.”
To buy: 60 cents for a 1-serving packet, at supermarkets nationwide.
Swiss Miss Chocolate Sensation
This mix had much more of a dark-chocolate taste and color than the others in the category. Testers raved about its “real
cocoa flavor,” which “wasn’t overly sweet” and “left no artificial aftertaste.”
