We found the best reviews of Hershey's Goodnight Kisses hot cocoa at Cook's Illustrated and Consumer Reports, which perform thorough taste tests. There are also helpful reviews at Cookie magazine, the Boston Globe and Backpacker magazine.
Unlike most supermarket hot chocolates, Hershey's Goodnight Kisses contains some genuine cocoa butter, giving it some added richness. This brand is also 99.9 percent caffeine-free. For these reasons Hershey's Goodnight Kisses is among the top picks in several reviews. Tasters generally describe Hershey's Goodnight Kisses as creamy and mild, although others say its taste is not particularly distinctive. If caffeine isn't a factor for you, reviewers point to the comparably priced Swiss Miss (*est. $2 for 10 servings).
