First introduced in grocery stores in 1959, Swiss Miss has a rich history as the "original" hot cocoa. Swiss Miss hot cocoa is made with care in a real dairy where fresh milk from local farms is delivered daily, dried, and blended with premium, imported cocoa. Keurig has been delivering this same warmth and comfort in a K-Cup^® pod format to consumers since this first Swiss Miss K-Cup^® pod was introduced in 2011.

Both Swiss Miss^® Peppermint Hot Cocoa and Swiss Miss^® Sensible Sweets Light Hot Cocoa 16-count K-Cup^® pods for the Keurig^® brewing system will be available in limited supply at select retail stores and online through www.Keurig.com.
