Target’s New Holiday Candy Is the Ultimate Stocking Stuffer

Baking chocolate chip cookies and making vegan slow cooker hot cocoa are some of our favorite edible holiday traditions, but seeking out the latest Christmas candy at Target is up there, too. After all, when you buy your sweet treats at the store, you don’t have to worry about cleaning up the kitchen! Luckily, Target’s exclusive holiday candy will be available starting in mid-November. That’ll help us reduce the amount of time we spend up to our elbows in cookie dough and melted chocolate. In the meantime, we’ll be making sure to eat as many winter veggie recipes as possible to prepare ourselves.

M&M’s Hot Cocoa ($3)

Though we’re dying to trying the new Hazelnut Spread M&Ms, they don’t come out until April of 2019. To tide us over, Target will be the exclusive purveyor of the new Hot Cocoa M&M’s this holiday season. They feature a classic candy-coated milk chocolate round with a white chocolate and marshmallow center.

Dove Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa ($4)

Dove is also hopping on the hot cocoa train. They’re debuting Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa candies with a marshmallow crème flavored center.

Hershey’s Hot Cocoa Kisses ($4)

Not to be left out, Target will also carry Hershey’s Hot Cocoa Kisses, which aren’t exclusive to the store but which you might as well stock up on if you’re already going in for all of the hot cocoa-flavored sweets! The milk chocolate kisses encase a marshmallow flavored crème. Fun fact: This is the first new flavor of Hershey’s Kisses in over 10 years.

Reese’s Santa’s Helpers ($4)

Moving on from that flavor profile, Target will also be stocking Reese’s Santa’s Helpers, chocolate ovals filled with peanut butter.

Ghirardelli Toffee Cookie Crunch ($4)

For those with a more refined palate, you can pick up the new Ghirardelli Toffee Cookie Crunch. These squares of creamy milk chocolate are dotted with caramelized cookie bits.

Lindt Snickerdoodle White Chocolate Truffles ($4)

Another elegant option? Lindt Snickerdoodle White Chocolate Truffles. Trust us when we say you might need to hide these from your friends and family.
