Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Chocolate Mint Pudding

Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Chocolate Mint PuddingI really think Kozy Shack products are under-rated because I don't really hear anyone going wild for them. But, I'm here to tell you that Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Vanilla Pudding = amazing. Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Rice Pudding = awesome. BUT since I'm a choco-holic, the Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Chocolate Mint Pudding was on my radar big time, and it was only a matte of time before a taste test. Chocolate and mint go together almost as well as chocolate and peanut butter in my mind, so this was a no-brainer to buy.

I let this chill in the refrigerator over night before I had it as my daily chocolate fix, and unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. This chocolate incarnations of the Kozy Shack puddings is not my favorite. It's waterier than the tapioca and rice pudding flavors and the mint didn't add much, being over-powered by the chocolate - but together it's still a colossal mess. For straight-up chocolate, I definitely prefer the Kozy Shack Simplywell Dark Chocolate Pudding - which does have added sugars though (13 grams total).

The ingredients are: low fat milk (vitamin A and D), water, modified tapioca starch, cocoa and breakfast cocoa (processed with alkali), inulin (natural dietary fiber), natural flavors, salt, sucralose, and carrageenan.

It makes my chocolate heart sad that this product didn't do it for me, especially since I spent at $4.49 for a 4-pack, but thankfully there are a few other Kozy Shack products that step up.
