Fro-yo girl here. It’s that time of the month when Menchie’s launches its feature flavors. Or at least, it’s supposed to be that time of the month. I called around and my local Menchie’s didn’t have the new flavors until over a week after they were supposed to have the flavors. I don’t live that far from Menchie’s HQ, so this constant delay in stocking the latest flavors is very frustrating. So is the lack of a flavor finder feature on the Menchie’s website. Why get people excited over new flavors if the shops don’t even have them?
The two *NEW* feature flavors scheduled to come out on December 1, 2018 were:
* Frozen Hot Cocoa frozen yogurt made with Swiss Miss: At first, I thought this was the same flavor as the previous flavor called Swiss Miss Classic Hot Chocolate which was introduced in 2015, but the flavor name is different. Are hot chocolate and hot cocoa the same? Apparently not. Hot chocolate should be made with chocolate, whereas hot cocoa is made with cocoa powder. It tasted just like the hot cocoa I used to drink long ago, so it was too sweet. But it was also rich and creamy. Frozen Hot Cocoa froyo is a lowfat frozen yogurt made with no artificial flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: Marshmallows, Cool Whip, and chocolate chips.
* Eggnog Cheesecake frozen yogurt: This is a brand new flavor. In the past, they brought back Holiday Eggnog froyo a few times for the holidays. Cheesecake is always a popular froyo flavor, so combining it with eggnog sounds appealing. This flavor didn’t have a strong eggnog note – it tasted like slightly tangy, slightly cheesy vanilla. Not bad. Recommended toppings: Nilla Wafers, almonds, cheesecake.
On December 16, the new feature flavors will be released: Sea Salt Caramel Latte, Chocolate Mint made with York Peppermint Patties. I think both are returning flavors.
The holiday gift card promotion continues. Get a $5 bonus card when you buy $25 worth of Menchie’s gift cards. I already bought mine. Menchie’s is also raffling off boxes of Swiss Miss hot cocoa.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
