That can happen for the right price. Yes, Oreo is the Scott Disick or Lil\u2019 Jon of the snack world. YEAH!!!<\/p>\n<p>The latest company to pay the cookie an appearance fee is Kerry, who has Oreo in its hot cocoa mix. No, not you, Kerry, who\u2019s reading this review right now. Kerry, a food company headquartered in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>The Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix box says it contains \u201cOreo Cookie Crumbs,\u201d and a quick look at its ingredients list and what\u2019s on an Oreo package shows that\u2019s the case. While both have the same ingredients, the hot cocoa mix doesn\u2019t appear to be a collection of dark cookie crumbs. Instead, it looks like something from Swiss Miss, Nestle, or a quarry.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oreo-Hot-Cocoa-Mix-2.jpg?resize=599%2C462&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix 2\" title=\"Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"462\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I made a cup with water, and, because of my Swiss Miss experiences, I expected it to be, well, um, watery. But that was not the case with the Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix. Swirling it around in the mug like I was aerating wine shows it has a viscosity that makes it difficult to tell water was used. I don\u2019t know if that means thickening agents or I need to wash my dishes better.<\/p>\n<p>But its consistency might also be the result of the amount of powder in each envelope that goes into the six ounces of liquid the instructions say to use. Each one has about 70 percent more than what\u2019s in a Swiss Miss packet. While that creates a thicker beverage, the amount also makes it difficult to dissolve all the contents in hot liquid. Despite my vigorous stirring, many small powder clumps remained.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oreo-Hot-Cocoa-Mix-3.jpg?resize=599%2C443&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix 3\" title=\"Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"443\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The hot cocoa mix smells like the wafer from the popular cookie, but, in beverage form, it doesn\u2019t make me think I\u2019m drinking molten Oreo. But there\u2019s a bit of the cookie&#8217;s dark cocoa flavor in the aftertaste. While it doesn\u2019t fully taste like a chocolate Oreo wafer, it\u2019s a darker, more decadent hot chocolate than I\u2019m used to. It\u2019s quite good.<\/p>\n<p>I also made a cup with vanilla soy milk, but, despite it being creamier than the one made with water, it\u2019s less pleasing because the non-dairy milk hides whatever Oreo flavor there is. <\/p>\n<p>Like Scott Disick\u2019s club appearances, I thought Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix was a desperate money grab. But while Mr. Disick has nothing to offer society, the Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix offers a warm, sweet beverage that\u2019ll hit the spot when the temperatures start dropping.<\/p>\n<p>YEAH!!!<\/p>\n<p><b>Thanks to reader Robbie for sending me a box!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 packet &#8211; 150 calories, 30 calories from fat, 3.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 210 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 23 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.98<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 8-pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Smells like chocolate Oreo wafers.
