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

At a quick glance, the image on the right looks as if the Red M&M got pooped on. It’s not, but I imagine that would wipe that smirk off of Red M&M’s face. (Spotted by Leonard G at Wegmans.)

REVIEW: Nestle Coffee-mate Dove Dark Chocolate Almond Creamer

/ / Reviews / 3 Comments

Coffee mate Dove Dark Chocolate Almond Creamer

Coffee-mate’s Dove Dark Chocolate Almond Creamer is one of two Nestle and Mars collaboration flavors with the other one being a Snickers flavor.

This Dove Chocolate version smells like one of the best chocolate milk ever with a hint of nuttiness. But after inhaling too much of it, I noticed a bit of an odd chemical-like smell. It doesn’t completely turn me off to it, but maybe I should stick to quick huffs.

By itself, which is definitely not Nestle’s recommend way to consume its creamers, the coffee enhancer is potent. It’s sweet and tastes nothing like any Dove Dark Chocolate I’ve had. But it does have a strong cocoa flavor with a hint of almonds.

Coffee mate Dove Dark Chocolate Almond Creamer with Coffee

With coffee, the flavors I tasted when drinking it straight up are still there, but obviously muted because of the joe. The dark cocoa flavor blends well with the java. The almond lingers in the background, but it’s harder to detect. Overall, it’s a tasty way to enhance the dark beverage, but it’s not better or less than most Coffee-mate flavors I’ve had. No FOMO here.

The nutty flavor isn’t from almond milk. It’s more of an enhanced version of the nut from “natural flavors.” It not surprising this doesn’t have almond milk because the dairy alternative not only makes things non-dairy, it also makes products non-the-same-price-as-the-non-almond-milk-versions. Nut milk tends to make things more expensive. Oh, by the way, to clarify, this Dove one is non-dairy, like most of Nestle’s creamers.

Dove Dark Chocolate Almond is a decent addition to the long list of other flavors the Nestle creamer brand offers. It’s no International Delight Reese’s Creamer because the candy equation of Reese’s > Dove will NEVER flip. But it’s an excellent flavor to mix it up, especially for someone like me who buys the Coffee-mate three-pack at Costco that has only French Vanilla and Hazelnut and is getting tired of it despite how cheap it is.

/ / Fast Food News / 1 Comment

Dunkin Peeps

When spring rolls around, you can be sure shelves everywhere will be stocked with Peeps chicks. This year, the reach of Peeps has extended into Dunkin’s coffee.

The chain’s new Peeps Marshmallow Flavored Coffee brings the creamy taste of a classic Peeps Marshmallow to Dunkin’s hot and iced coffee, espresso drinks, frozen coffee, and frozen chocolate.

A small Peeps Marshmallow iced coffee with cream has 180 calories, 6 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 70 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 26 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

In other Peeps and Dunkin’ related news, the donut chain is bringing back its Peeps Donut. It’s a little different than the one we reviewed back in 2014. It features white icing, a special green and egg-shaped sprinkle blend, and a mini yellow Peeps Marshmallow Chick nested on top.

The Peeps Donut has 360 calories, 17 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 340 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 25 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

Both items will be available for a limited time starting on April 1 at participating Dunkin’ locations, while supplies last.
