Just when you thought that chocolate mix couldn't possibly get any better, [Nesquik](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-churro-flavored-powder) has debuted Hot Fudge Sundae Powder.

Nesquik's regular Chocolate Powder is a cocoa-based drink mix that can be used to create chocolate milk. Now the brand has kicked that formula into overdrive with the debut of Nesquik Hot Fudge Sundae Powder. This dreamy new drink mix essentially takes the flavors of a [classic hot fudge sundae](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-style-chocolate-sundae) and transforms them into chocolate milk. To prepare the drink, all you need to do is at two tablespoons of the powder to a glass of milk and stir.

Made without high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, Nesquik Hot Fudge Sundae Powder is a fun drink option for kids and adults alike.
