REVIEW: Nestle Coffee mate New Winter 2021 Coffee Creamer Flavors

Nestle Coffe mate Milk Chocolate M M s Creamer

For those of you who don’t follow coffee creamers, winter is usually the time of year when a slew of them are introduced. This winter, Nestle Coffee mate is offering nine new products, but I’m going to be focusing on three of them here, which I received from the brand.

Milk Chocolate M&M’s Creamer

I very much know what Milk Chocolate M&M’s taste like due to my insistence that Fun Size packs should only be eaten by pouring their entire contents into my mouth instead of consuming them one by one like a bird, if birds ate M&M’s. Even though it’s primarily milk chocolate, the classic candy has a distinct flavor.

So after going through half a bottle of Coffee mate’s Milk Chocolate M&M’s Creamer, I have to say I don’t taste the popular candy, whether it’s in coffee or poured straight into my mouth as if the bottle is my mama bird and I’m a baby bird waiting for sustenance to land into my mouth.

I mean, it’s definitely milk chocolatey, and it turns any coffee I make with it into a tasty mocha-flavored beverage. However, it’s hard to distinguish the creamer as an M&M’s product, making it a little disappointing.

Glazed Donut Creamer

Nestle Coffee mate Glazed Donut Creamer

The donut and coffee combo has been around as long as chocolate and peanut butter have been in each other’s business. So it’s not surprising to see Nestle attempt to recreate a donut’s flavor within a coffee creamer. However, I don’t think the brand accomplished that.

What I taste leans more towards birthday cake frosting than a glazed donut when I add it to my daily iced coffee and when I try it on its own. There aren’t any fried dough notes or anything that reminds me of a pastry.

This Coffee mate Glazed Donut Creamer is not what I was hoping for, but it’s serviceable. If you want to experience donuts and coffee, you’re going to have to do it the old fashioned way.

Oatmeal Creme Pie Creamer

Nestle Coffee mate Oatmeal Creme Pie Creamer

Full disclosure: I don’t think I’ve ever had a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. Oh, I think I just heard and felt everyone’s collective gasp. Or it could’ve been the wind. But I know what oatmeal cookies taste like and, after licking so many white, creamy, and sugary things in my life, my worn down taste buds might have an idea of what the creme tastes like. So I think I know what flavors to expect in this coffee creamer.

And one of those is, and this will sound super weird or wrong, whole grain oats. I’ve had enough oat milk in my life to know what oats taste like in liquid form, and I swear I taste something like it in this. Speaking of oats in liquid form, I wonder how this would taste if it was Coffee mate Natural Bliss Oatmeal Creme Pie Oat Milk Creamer. Just something for you to think about, Nestle.

As for other cookie ingredients, I also taste cinnamon and brown sugar. Oh, I should mention this smells precisely like oatmeal cookies, and it’s magnificent. As for the creme, my taste buds didn’t notice anything that could be considered creme-flavored. But, now that I think about it, it would be difficult to detect among the other bolder flavors.

Out of the three varieties here, I think this one is the best and most accurate tasting. But I wish it didn’t come only in a 16-ounce bottle.

Monster Energy Ultra Gold

Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.

GOOOOOOOOOOLD! It’s a pineapple-flavored energy drink. Although, wasn’t there an Ultra Gold beer? I’m too tired to look it up. If only I had some Monster Ultra GOOOOOOOOLD! (Spotted by @TheJoshCatlett at Walmart.)

SPOTTED: Klondike Cones!

Klondike Cones

So let me throw out some numbers here. There are five total flavors. There are three different boxes that have two different flavors. Two of the boxes share a flavor. Train A started at 7:30 am at 75 mph from Point B with its destination being Point A. Train B started at 8:00 am at 50 mph from Point A with its destination being Point B. At what point did you stop reading this caption. Here are all the cone flavors that I pretty much copy and pasted from @CandyHunting’s Instagram post:

Vanilla Chill’n – vanilla base with a chocolatey sauce core and a crispy wafer cone.

Nuts for Vanilla – vanilla base with a chocolatey sauce core, a crispy wafer cone, and topped with crunchy roasted peanuts.

Classic Chocolate – chocolate base with a chocolatey sauce core, a crispy wafer cone, and topped with crunchy roasted peanuts.

Double Down Chocolate – chocolate base with a chocolatey sauce core, a crispy chocolate wafer cone, and topped with chocolate ribbon curls.

Unicorn Dreamin’ – a duo of strawberry and bubblegum bases with a strawberry sauce core and a green wafer cone.

REVIEW: Dairy Queen Mint Chip Shake

/ / Reviews / 4 Comments

Dairy Queen Mint Chip Shake Cup

What is the Dairy Queen Mint Chip Shake?

Shamrock Shake season will soon be upon us, so Dairy Queen has joined the minty menagerie. This shake has Crème de Menthe mixed with “chocolate cone coating” in vanilla soft serve.

This isn’t the first time Dairy Queen has offered a minty shake, but it is the first time I have had one. (Not to be confused with the mint Blizzard, which you can guarantee will come back in some form in time for March.)

How is it?

The best way to describe it is “delightful but safe.”

Mint is my favorite flavor, so I loved drinking it. It was cool and refreshing, like mint chocolate chip ice cream in liquid form. I had no problem consuming it through a thick metal straw. (I’m trying to reduce my plastic consumption—even though it’s served in a plastic cup.)

Dairy Queen Mint Chip Shake Closeup

The “chocolate cone coating” description is a little confusing, but I think it means it’s the same chocolate they use for dipped cones. It reminded me of the chocolate pieces in any off-brand mint chocolate chip ice cream, only thinner. The chocolate pieces are crunchy but not hard. I think it’s semisweet chocolate, but I’m no cocoa connoisseur.

I have no complaints, but even if you have never been to Dairy Queen, you have had this shake before. I really enjoyed it, but it’s no different from a mint shake or ice cream anywhere else.

Anything else you need to know?

The green coloring is more subdued than in the advertisements. Isn’t a vibrant green the whole point of mint shakes at this time of year?

Conclusion:

Dairy Queen Mint Chip Shake Top

If you want a mint shake and Dairy Queen is the closest, go for it. But any other place will do just as good a job.
