<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A mouthful to say. <\/p>\n
Joking aside, it\u2019s Dove getting in on the hot cocoa flavor trend. It\u2019s the squircle-shaped candy that we know and love from Dove, but with milk chocolate hot cocoa and a marshmallow cr\u00e8me flavored center (note that it\u2019s not phrased as “hot cocoa-flavored milk chocolate”). It\u2019s a limited time only candy and is available exclusively at Target. <\/p>\n
It had the silky smoothness of typical Dove Promises, but any hot cocoa-ness was really subtle (also see: non-existent). I kept eating piece after piece, and each time I thought I was starting to get a hint of marshmallow or rich cocoa, it would quickly dissipate into a one-note milk chocolate flavor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I expected it to be more marshmallow-forward because the majority of the interior was cr\u00e8me colored. But, once I picked off some of the cr\u00e8me to try on its own, I discovered that it was like white chocolate. One could argue that a marshmallow doesn\u2019t taste like anything, but whatever it is, it’s overpowered entirely by milk chocolate. <\/p>\n
I think the recently released Hot Cocoa M&M’s have more of a hot cocoa flavor than this. At least, I could tell they didn\u2019t taste like regular M&M’s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Dove’s Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa with Marshmallow Creme Promises are good, but they don\u2019t quite deliver on the flavor profile. But, I do appreciate that the foil wrappers and the Promises written on the inside have a holiday theme.<\/p>\n
