Branded Peppermint Hot Chocolates

York Peppermint Patty Hot Chocolate is the Ideal Winter Drink

— October 2, 2019 — Lifestyle
If you're ready for warming winter beverages, you'll be happy to learn about the new York Peppermint Patty Hot Chocolate. And unlike a pumpkin spice latte, you can enjoy this sweet treat without worrying about caffeine-induced jitters.

Hershey's York Peppermint Chocolate hot cocoa mix is essentially single-serving packets of hot chocolate mix that is designed to take just like the iconic York Peppermint Patty candies. That means you'll enjoy the rich taste of chocolate paired with the cooling sensation of peppermint. As the brand puts it, "If happiness came in a mug, it would taste like this."

If you're looking to stock up on the York Peppermint Patty Hot Chocolate ahead of the next polar vortex, you can find the hot cocoa mix at Walmart, on Amazon, and from a number of other online retailers.
