Wawa Cookies and Cream Milk

Reformulated from the previous version, this is every bit as sickly sweet as before, albeit with improved visuals (from what I can remember) and a thin texture built for speed rather than comfort. Sugar junkies, seek this stuff out, but it's way too distractingly sweet for me to recommend in good faith.

Grube's Dairy Chocolate Milk

Delicious base that almost profiles like a non-homogenous one, but it delivers and maintains a medium-intensity cocoa flavor with competence and grace. Tiny bit of cocoa grit at the end of some sips, which I certainly don't mind-- just a tactile reminder of the otherwise smooth, creamy, and satisfying treat.

Rutter's Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk

Points for accuracy here, it tastes a lot like a peanut butter cup and is nicely restrained in a way that works to its benefit. The reduced fat base is neither pushed to its limits nor exposed-- it rests confidently in the background as the chocolate and peanut butter flavors tell their story.

Way-Har Farms Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk

Same unique flavor profile to the whole version (noticeably less-sweet, and unique toasted marshmallow-esque flavor), this 2% port is a fantastic use of its calories, should that be a concern. It's slightly thinner and has less creamy sustain than it's full-fat counterpart, but this easily outpaces some of the big-brand whole chocolate milks that you might find in your local supermarket.

Miller's Organic Farm Raw Chocolate Milk

Moderately chocolaty and lightly malty, it drinks quickly due the the thinness but leaves a delicious wild, creamy repose on your tastebuds for a long time after each sip. For me, I enjoy the aftertaste every bit even more than the upfront taste, which is on the mild side. This is the real deal-- raw milk as it comes out of the cow, so don't expect it to be like the mass-produced stuff you might find on supermarket shelves.

Hy-Point Farms Chocolate Milk

Thick, sticky, and sweet beyond its means-- if melted, bland vanilla ice cream is your thing, look no further. The bottle is colored brown perhaps to mask the fact that the 'chocolate' milk inside is several shades lighter, and wouldn't register as chocolate to 9 out of 10 blindfolded tasters (unsubstantiated claim).

Down on the Farm Creamery Chocolate Milk

Thick and chocolaty-- one of the chocolate milks that I could put in front of nearly anyone and be 100% confident that they would enjoy it. It's got a strong cocoa flavor of medium sweetness, and a beefy body does its job more than adequately to deliver the flavor and elevate the experience as one of indulgence and bliss.

Dutch Meadows Raw Chocolate Milk

Brilliantly thin with generous cocoa and lavishly grassy undertones, it's a unique treasure to enjoy raw chocolate milk like this. Its thin viscosity is devoid of any starches, thickeners, or emulsifiers could prove to be a hurdle for the uninitiated. But it's a hurdle well worth pursuing.

Lancaster Local Chocolate Milk

Wow-- quite a different experience! It's shockingly under sweet, under salty, yet quite thick and deceptively creamy. A few sips into it, I'm starting to appreciate it more-- and the novelty does carry some cachet with me after having over 1,500 different chocolate milks (many of which fit into common paradigms).

Shoprite Bowl & Basket Chocolate Milk

Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry… but make 'em feel…something. This looks gray, and tastes, well, gray as well. There's not much to report from a flavor standpoint, it's effectively drinkable ennui. It feels pretty good, though, and is not over sweet or funky in any way whatsoever. It's just...there. I think I broke the record for ellipses in this review, so it's at least memorable for that reason...

Penn View Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk

Intriguing combination of thick but smooth, with a strong cascade of malt flavor and a salty pinch that curbs any unwanted residuals. If you're looking to overdose on cocoa, this won't get the job done, but if you're looking to add an ice-cream-y bent to your potable portfolio, check this stuff out.

Freddy Hill Farms Chocolate Milk

I've had Freddy Hill Farms ice cream, so I know they know how to impart flavor. They just didn't do it very effectively here, unfortunately. It's got a nice creamy body that could be saddled with a LOT more flavor. Largely bland and unoffensive, it doesn't move the needle much for a whole chocolate milk.

Dairy Maid Dairy Double Chocolate Milk

Sweet, chocolaty, and rather soulless beyond that. The cocoa flavor narrowly escapes 'candified' territory, and the base is more reminiscent of 2% than whole, as it washes away fairly quickly and yields to a watery/syrupy sustain rather than a creamy one. It's not bad in a pinch, and kids will like it, but for whole chocolate milk, there are likely better options nearby.

Deliteful Dairy Cookies & Cream Milk

Sweet cookie flavor with its own highly-competent cream, it's on the sweet side for chocolate milk (nearly all CnC milks are) but remains an accurate representation and should be sought out for fans of this profile, or those looking to expand their library of delicious drinkable confections.

Kurtz Family Dairy Chocolate Milk

Densely flavorful with a salty/malty bite in the latter third of each sip which provides a tasty and mouthwatering exit-- imploring you to take another sip (which you'll gladly do). The cocoa flavor is strongest upfront, and then folds gracefully into the aforementioned wave. It's extremely well-built and indulgently flavorful from beginning to end.

Deliteful Dairy Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk

Wow-- the first sip will register like a construction boot to the skull, but once you settle in, you're in for a powerfully indulgent ride through chocolate peanut butter territory that you've likely not explored to this extent. In short, it's a haymaker of salty, peanutty punch wrapped up in a creamy chocolaty base that still drinks quickly-- it's a lot of flavor to handle at once. Make sure you're sitting down for this one.
