Move Over Hot Cocoa Bombs — Target's New Hot Chocolate Drops Are the Sweet Treat We're Excited For This Fall

Sure, it’s still summer, but it’s never too early to start thinking about hot chocolate. And if you’re the type of person who collects hot chocolate bombs — those being the “just add warm milk” cocoa powder mixes that come in a meltable chocolate shell — then you’re going to really love Target’s new hot chocolate innovation. Rather than a full-on bomb, Target’s Favorite Day brand released hot chocolate drops that allow you to make a totally custom hot cocoa that suits your personal taste.

Favorite Day’s Hot Chocolate Drops are kind of like Hershey Kisses, but with a twist. Made with Belgian chocolate, each drop contains a dissolvable cocoa powder that makes mixing hot chocolate easy. Just warm up a mug of milk, add your desired amount of drops (the directions on the back of the bag suggest four drops per mug), and sip away!

But there are so many other ways to enjoy these hot chocolate drops from Favorite Day — in fact, you can actually just eat them right out of the bag when you’re craving something sweet!
