Dear Migros
We got to know and love "Swiss Miss" while on vacation. I have been looking in vain for something similar in Switzerland for years.
"Swiss Miss" is a drinking chocolate with milk powder. You put two teaspoons (or more) of it in a cup and brew the powder with hot water. Since you don't need any milk (I still pour in a sip), which could spoil in the single household fridge (we don't like UHT) or which has to be laboriously reheated in the pan (boil over/wash the pan afterwards), this chocolate powder is totally practical. You can whip up hot chocolate for yourself and your guests in no time at all. My guests always found the small marshmallows (Swiss Miss with marshmallows) surprising. Even on a cold winter evening, a hot chocolate warms the heart and brightens the mood. I use our "Swiss Miss" leftovers very sparingly!
I would immediately buy a normal drinking chocolate with milk powder. That's why I would be very happy about such a product creation. Please, please, please, dear Migros, put such drinking chocolate powder on the shelves this fall.
Best regards

A really good idea!
Just right for cold days in fall or winter?
I don't know "Swiss Miss", but it reminds me a lot of the "breakfast preserves" of the Swiss army, which I often enjoyed?
It was a kind of Ovosport, packaged in the same way, which when mixed with hot water made a hot chocolate, or rather hot Ovo. You could also mix it with milk, but it contained milk powder and we didn't have any milk with us in the field.
I'm not sure whether Ovosport contains milk powder, but perhaps this would be a temporary solution until Migros launches a similar product.
So please, the idea is good, try to implement it.
The packaging invites you to try it, but only the packaging!
As it is produced in the USA, the ingredients include corn syrup, which is cheap to produce and is not the first choice, as it consists mainly of fructose rather than glucose.
Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate:
Ingredients: Sugar, corn syrup, modified whey, cocoa (processed with alkali), hydrogenated coconut oil, fat-free milk, calcium carbonate, less than 2%: Salt, dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, carrageenan, acesulfame, potassium, sucralose, artificial flavors.
Contains: Milk.
I couldn't drink the "water chocolate concoction" mentioned by Imperator, just like the cocoa mixed with water for breakfast in the military.

Hello everyone
Thank you for this suggestion and the initial feedback. Personally, I prefer hot chocolate with milk, but this powder would definitely be practical - e.g. for on the go or when you don't have any milk at home.
I'm happy to pass on the request - I think the idea is a little too late for this winter season. But who knows: maybe this will be a suitable alternative for next winter.
Kind regards
Tanja
Dear Tanja, thank you very much for your offer. It would be cool if it would work out for the coming winter season. Swiss Miss could still be improved. I admit that it definitely has potential! :) Best regards smiley1
