This year has brought a proliferation of hot cocoa flavored candy, all with "marshmallow" filling. I have seen Kisses, M & Ms and Dove chocolates. Has anyone tried any of these? I love Dove chocolates, so I think I would like to try those, but I am wondering if they are really marshmallowy.

It is the new thing isn’t it? I was hoping for a salted caramel revolution, but at least this is better then pumpkin spice everything.
I was looking for the dove ones today, but didn’t see them, they seem the most promising to me,

Yes, I was at Target a few days ago with DD and she bought a bag of the Hot Cocoa M&Ms. I don't usually eat M&Ms, but I tried a couple and they were good. They're slightly larger than regular M&Ms, and they do have a cocoa & marshmallow-ey flavor. DD liked them too. DH ("the purist") thought they were sacrilege and refused to try them, LOL.  |

My kids are crazy about the hot cocoa Hershey Kisses. They're pissed they are seasonal.  I did try one and thought it was only ok. I wasn't really a fan of the soft marshmallow center. I prefer classic, original Kisses! Now on the other hand, I did pick up a whole bunch of Reese's today! Some newfangled ones shaped like holiday lights. IMO, you can never go wrong w/ chocolate & PB pairing! |

I have tried the hot chocolate M&M's last year. I liked them, but I prefer the caramel M&M's instead. Not a huge fan of marshmallow.
I wish they would bring back the orange-chocolate filled M&M that were were a seasonal item about 4-5? years ago. They were awesome.
I don't think I've tried any other hot chocolate flavored candies.

I just bought the kisses but didn't try one yet. I hope they are as good as they sound.

I've had the Hershey kisses, and really liked them. The marshmallow isn't chewy at all, just creamy.

I tried the Doves - it has a white center but doesn’t really taste “marshmallows” - it tastes like a lighter version of their milk chocolate Doves. Very, very good but not a distinct marshmallow flavor to me.

Over the summer, Dairy Queen had a s'mores flavor blizzard that had little tiny candy bars filled with marshmallow goo in it. I'm hoping these will be as good as those!
