I have a confession to make. I love chocolate. I am addicted to chocolate. I honestly don’t think a day goes by where I don’t have something chocolate. This is why I make sure to keep chocolate on hand all the time.
For me, enjoying a piece of chocolate is relaxing to me. Some people unwind from a rough day at work with a glass of wine or a beer. Not me. For me it’s a piece of chocolate. Just a piece. I try not to go overboard (but there are plenty of times I ate more than I should have).
I do think mass produced chocolate is good (the kind you find in the grocery store or drug store), but they can’t compare to gourmet chocolates.
Let me introduce you to Milkboy Swiss Chocolates. Just knowing these are Swiss chocolates, you know they are going to be out of this world.
Here is a little more information about the brand;
Milkboy Swiss Chocolates is on a mission to source the finest quality, natural and sustainable ingredients in order to create extraordinary chocolate and practice traditional and iconic Swiss chocolate manufacturing without compromise or shortcuts. Chocolates are produced in Switzerland from milk sourced from the Swiss Alpine region.
Milkboy Swiss Chocolates is a 5-time sofi Award winner for Best Chocolates, including a 2021 sofi Gold Award for the Best Milk Chocolate, and 5-time Great Taste Award winner. The chocolates are gluten-free, non-GMO, soy-free and certified Kosher. Milkboy chocolate uses only Rainforest Alliance-certified cocoa in its chocolate products and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper for its packaging.
Milkboy Swiss Chocolates was kind enough to send me some chocolates to try out for myself. They also sent me their newest product, Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink.
I initially thought the Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink was only for hot chocolate. I was wrong. It can be used like chocolate milk as well. My husband’s eyes got as big as a saucer when I told him that. My husband LITERALLY has a glass of chocolate milk EVERY MORNING with his breakfast. It doesn’t matter if he’s having a bowl of cereal, French toast or eggs, he always has a glass of chocolate milk.
Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink is a dairy-free, gluten-free, GMO-free cacao powder. It is also made in Switzerland.
“We’re thrilled to introduce this wonderful new product,” said Milkboy founder Emanuel Schmerling. “We spent a lot of time perfecting the recipe of our new Swiss Chocolate Drink and are very proud of the final product. We’re looking forward to introducing this authentic Swiss experience, which can be enjoyed year-round, to North American markets.”
I received a container of Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink to try out for myself. The very first time I opened the container, I could tell this was not your ordinary chocolate drink mix. The scent of chocolate hit me in the face when I opened it. It smells SO GOOD! Even “as is” (in powdered form) it smells rich and heavenly.
To use, simply add 1-2 tablespoons (depending on your taste and the amount of milk or milk substitute you are using) and mix. That’s it. That is all you need to do.
I can’t drink chocolate milk, but I do take some sips of his drink when he makes the Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink mix (much to his dismay). It’s good. You can clearly tell that it was not made with the chocolate syrup he normally makes chocolate milk with. To be honest, it tastes like a chocolate milk you would get from a fine restaurant (my husband has ordered chocolate milk at fancy restaurants too – he’s just a big kid at heart). It’s gourmet. There is no doubt about it.
I’ve tried it once thus far as chocolate milk. It’s rich and creamy! It tastes like hot chocolate that was made with real chocolate – as if someone made hot chocolate, then toss in a few pieces of chocolate to make it more chocolatey (not overly chocolate either).
We are expecting cold, miserable weather for the next few days, so I know we’ll be reaching for this chocolate mix for some hot chocolates, if there is any left after my husband using it almost all the time (he won’t use up a product I need to review until I am done with my review).
Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink joins a product line that includes chocolate bars Finest Alpine Milk, Alpine Milk with Roasted Almonds, Alpine Milk with Crunchy Caramel and Sea Salt, White Chocolate with Bourbon Vanilla, Extra Dark 85% Cocoa, Finest 72% Cocoa with Fresh Roasted Coffee, and Finest 72% Cocoa with Crispy Mint.
The brand also sent me some of their chocolates too.
Oh my goodness! The chocolates are DEVINE. They are exquisite. I think I’m salivating just thinking about them (I do have some left… I think I’m going to grab a piece after I am done with this post).
Normally I break off a square to enjoy. With these chocolates you get a large square (more like a rectangle). YUM!!!!
Their chocolate is rich and creamy. Heavenly!
They have a Milk chocolate bar with Lemon and Ginger. I was very intrigued by that flavor combination. Chocolate and lemon? Interesting…
As odd as the flavor combination is, the chocolate bar is amazing!
These chocolate bars, and the Milkboy Swiss Chocolate Drink mix would make great gifts this holiday season. They would good stocking stuffers, co-worker gifts, neighbor gifts, hostess gifts and more.
