International Delight : Heath Bar Coffee Creamer

Truth be told, I saw this in the store and exclaimed excitedly, but had no intentions of reviewing it for FGFB. Only because with something like this, there are so many different factors on prep and nuanced portions to how people enjoy their coffee, that I wasn't sure how to attack it properly. So, I decided to say "BUCK IT" and review it on how I make my coffee, the correct way.

feast your eyes on this megalith of coffee creamery
first we start off with the only coffee (nationally optioned) that should ever be delivered into your coffee pot, a Starbucks bold roast. I prefer to grind my beans, but sometimes you have to slum it and go with a bag of ground.

i like my coffee strong, so add a little less water to the brewing process
Pour a generous cup of black gold into your favorite mug


I've slowly weened myself off of adding sugar to my coffee. I enjoy a coffee taste, and the sugar piss that Dunkin Donuts has been offering the past few years as completely turned my stomach to overly sweet coffee. That way you can let the creamer actually do the work of sweetening the coffee, and perform the symphony of candy flavored notes that it so claims it does.
i pour in about 3 teaspoons of creamer

still dark, but sweetened up to my tastes
 
down the ol hatch!

As far as coffee creamers go, this one is just mediocre. It tastes a lot like the Italian Sweet cream offerings, dialed down, and added a hint of candy. you can't really tell WHAT kind of candy, as the candy flavor is so far away you'd need a North Korean missile test just to try and reach it. And just like the last North Korean missile test, this coffee creamer breaks up half way to flavor, and leaves your coffee feeling, weak, impotent, and isolated.

personally, this creamer deserves a C.
if you're a little piglet that has a 80/20 creamer/coffee ratio, you might like it more. 
But as an addendum to an already great coffee, it neither enhances nor detracts. 
snag it up, or don't.

  3. Heath flavored creamer, in my book, is the Best out of all the flavors!!! I like a little coffee in my creamer! LOL!! Seriously, l absolutely Love this particular flavor. However, right now, l am having a hard time finding it in my area. Hope it hasn't been taken off the shelves permanently!!! My second choice, Cinnamon Roll flavor!!
