First off, this flavor is the best they have. Sadly, several listings claim that it contains nuts when it's actually a Chocolate and Butterscotch and Irish Cream flavor that is safe even for me, with my allergies. They'd probably sell more without those mistaken listings from their original recipe from years ago. But we love this, so we finally decided to buy the three-pound bag of it here at Amazon, since they had a good deal on it, and then we found out why it's not a bestseller in the three-pound size.You see, the three-pound bag is too heavy to be shipped in a box containing other items, but Amazon often ships items together. The little bags ship in a bubble mailer, by themselves amazingly enough, and they're usually fine, although one was crushed and popped a while back. But the three-pound size is really heavy and it basically thrashes around in a larger box until it's punctured itself on whatever sharp object happens to be contained in that box.In our case, it crushed some chips (and why anyone would ship chips with a three-pound bag like this is beyond me, but at least it was only two little bags out of twelve, and we can still eat them) and then partially crushed a smaller box while somehow also puncturing itself on a sharp-cornered box inside the larger shipping box. We ended up with chocolate all over, panicking to clean in order to protect our dogs (since chocolate is often fatal for dogs, even in small quantities), and then taking photos to send to Amazon to get them to ship out a replacement.Given what just happened with our big exciting "buying the three-pound bag" fiasco, I have to say that Amazon is amazing for the 10-ounce size, and maybe the 24-ounce (although one we received was popped a while back, which we still used since it was clearly popped in transit in a tiny mailer so we figured it was safe), but the three-pound (48-ounce) bag of this is really far too heavy to be shipped unless it's shipped alone and in a bubble mailer or box all by itself in order to prevent damage to other items or to the bag itself. We had two three-pound bags on order, a Highlander Grogg and a Double Chocolate, and both managed to do damage to other items while also getting damaged themselves.While this is one of my favorite products on the market right now, I have to advise ordering the three-pound bag direct from the vendor, via their website, to avoid damage to the huge bag or damage to other items being shipped in the same box as that huge bag of roasted cacao. It's rather disappointing to have to immediately reorder a 10-ounce container to tide us over until we receive the emergency order we're placing from the company's website, since it's so much more expensive to buy that small bag, but it's my own fault for not having thought about how much damage a three-pound bag could do if packed in a box with other boxes. This one was in a box with other boxes, one of which had very sharp corners, and the other was in a box where they dropped this little metal thing, so it was a complete disaster.So, what did we learn in our family today? We're definitely buying these again, but we're buying the larger size direct from the vendor, to protect the products so that we can actually use these instead of having to toss them out due to being unsafe and contaminated.These are amazing products, especially the Highlander Grogg and Double Chocolate, but they require special handling when they're this large and heavy, such as being shipped alone in a bubble mailer to protect them from puncture. Lesson learned, and we're still trying to get replacements or refunds on those, so it's doubly learned.

It has taken using half the bag to really like this flavor. I bought this on a whim as the other flovor was out of stock. I'm not really a butterscotch, Irish cream, or caramel flavor fan, but it has definitely grown on me. I will purchase again because I have come to like it.

My son and I have crib every morning. This is one of our favorite flavors. The mocha is amazing too.

They say coffee and tea is an acquired taste but I've never managed to acquire it in over 50 years, so hot cocoa is my only hot drink option but to me, it's always tasted more like hot sugar than hot cocoa. When I heard about Crio Bru, I was intrigued and I'm glad I gave it a try. First, it filled my house with a delectable smell - best freshener I've ever found! To drink, it was nice on its own but I added a splash of milk for a bit of creaminess. I'm not sure I can describe the flavor - it tastes like chocolate, but slightly different. I don't think I have words to describe it, but it's not unpleasant - kinda of chocolate-y plus a little bit of earthiness, plus the butterscotch/caramel flavor. Preparation was easy, I used a moka pot and it came out perfect. So easy and tastes great!

Addicted!! I drink this every morning, my favorite treat flavor!

Very disappointed as this is flavored product, not 100% brewing cacao as described. Description is misleading. I thought I was getting a different roast or perhaps a blend of different origin cacao, not something with flavoring oils added.

I'm really sad this is a limited edition! I've tried every roast and flavor CrioBru makes, and this is by far my favorite!

It’s my first time trying Cacao and I guess I was thinking more chocolate flavor. I followed the instructions and it just seemed very light, so I went with the higher dose and it did get better but to get a full coffee cup would take so much that I think the whole bag would only make about 4-5 drinks. I made it in a French press and then in my coffee maker but didn’t see much difference.For me it’s just not worth the price.
