Swiss Miss Cinnamon Toast Crunch (Amazon) By @Cinabar

I’m not sure what I’m drinking. I’m also sure it wasn’t what I thought it was when I bought it. I love Swiss Miss hot chocolate; it is sweet and flavoursome despite being made with hot water and not milk. I have a sweet tooth; their drinks are sweet; they are my thing. I decided to google what interesting flavours they make, and I stumbled across one called Cinnamon Toast, and I was in. My favourite spice is cinnamon. I ordered it without paying much more attention.

 

I was expecting a hot chocolate-based drink with cinnamon flavour. I thought that right up until the moment I opened the first sachet and poured a white powder into my mug. It looked a bit disappointing. 

I added the water; it didn’t have a particularly strong aroma; it was just sweet and milky. I was still a bit disappointed. I opened up the second sachet of marshmallows, and I got a massive hit of cinnamon powder mixed in with the marshmallows. I added it, and it changed the milk base to a cinnamon speckled drink.

I gave it a try, and oh my word, this drink is amazing, not at all what I thought I’d bought pure heaven in a mug. I have since googled and found that cinnamon toast is an American breakfast cereal, and this drink is supposed to be a hot version of the milk the cereal leaves. I had no idea, but the taste is sweet, milky, and has lots of spice from the cinnamon, so I thought it was heaven. All the disappointment was gone, and now I’m just hoping I can get another box.
