You can't fully appreciate the packaged frozen hot chocolate until you've had the REAL frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3 in NYC. While it doesn't come close to the homemade kind you get there, it's a GREAT alternative for when you're really craving some or you miss it or you're just far away and can't have it, etc. It's all about adding your personal touch with the ice, maybe some whipped cream and cocoa shavings like they do at the restaurant. So no, it's not the chocolate dessert to end all chocolate desserts, because that's the ORIGINAL frozne hot chocolate, but this is a delicious, inexpensive, fast, substitute and makes a fabulous gift when paired with a mug or other coffee/sweet goodies. So that's the point, it's not to replace the original, it's just to satisfy some cravings, so if you've never had the original it might not be the best thing in the world to you but after you've had the original you'll find these packets will satisfy many, many cravings taht will follow! Hope that helps! --Fellow chocolate love and frozen hot chocolate expert!
 Just "o.k " if you want a "Frosty" or a rich shake September 21, 2006

Obviously, by looking at the other reviews people think this stuff is either really good or really bad. I think it is all according to your taste and what you are expecting for this price. I ordered packets from two different web sites and they both taste ok just like a frosty/rich shake ordered from a drive thru window. It was ok but I wouldn't pay the price for it again. I found a recipe from the Serendipity 3 restaurant where you make your own Frozen Hot Chocolate by adding tiny bits of REAL chocolate, a bit of milk, cocoa,and some ice into a blender. I have a feeling that is the recipe that taste much more like what Oprah said was so good and more equivalent to what the restaurant actually serves. If you want more than just an expensive milkshake I would try the recipe using real chocolate and stay away from this drive thru milkshake mix.

I bought the packs after a trip to NYC -- and due to the long wait -- could not get into the restaurant. It was pretty bad. The chocolate had a weird after-taste. I would have been better off making a chocolate milk shake. In order to use up all of the packs, I am going to try to add coffee to the milk to try to mask that funny taste.
Not impressed! December 26, 2005

Saw these on Oprah and ordered them for Christmas gifts. The packages are really ugly and cheap looking which didn't help when giving as gifts. Saved 2 packages for our family Christmas Eve treats. I can't say they are horrible but it tasted like any old chocolate shake. It has a very strong chocolate taste so I added more milk to tame the taste. These are pretty exprensive so we expected better.
