Branded Hot Cocoa Bombs

The Hershey's Hot Chocolate Bomb Comes in Two Flavors

— November 25, 2022 — Lifestyle
Hot cocoa bombs have become quite popular within the artisan candy market, but now consumers can find them in the mainstream market thanks to the new Hershey's Hot Chocolate Bombs. The product features the brand's signature chocolate in the form of a sphere that's loaded with hot chocolate mix to burst when paired with hot water or milk. The treat comes in two flavors including Milk Chocolate with Cinnamon Flavor and Milk Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows, which feature 1.25-ounce and 1.45-ounce sizes, respectively.

The Hershey's Hot Chocolate Bomb is launching nationwide in the US for a limited time only and is arriving alongside some additional themed products for consumers to pick up as stocking stuffers this holiday season.
