"We ranked almost twenty hot chocolates from popular chain coffee shops, and Krispy Kreme took home the gold for its Ghirardelli hot chocolate. Krispy Kreme has been blessing us with a whole lineup of sweet and delectable donuts since the company was founded in 1937. So, it's no surprise that Krispy Kreme knows how to make a pretty great hot chocolate, too. The donut chain took top spot in our hot cocoa rankings for several reasons, least of which was the approachable pricing."
"Sipping on a warm cup of hot cocoa is a quintessential winter activity, but not everyone's taste buds align on what makes a great hot cocoa. Some like sweet, some like creamy, and some prefer a richer, deeper chocolate flavor. The Ghirardelli hot chocolate at Krispy Kreme lands more on the rich end of that spectrum. To some, this is ideal, like one reviewer on Reddit who said, "Unironically, Krispy Kreme has really, really good hot chocolate. I don't know if it's the best, but it's delicious.""
Krispy Kreme's Ghirardelli hot chocolate placed first among almost twenty chain hot chocolates. The 12-ounce cup costs $2.85 plus tax and delivers a rich, sippable chocolate experience without extra drizzles or toppings. The Ghirardelli-brand mix contributes noticeably to the flavor and overall quality. The beverage registers 410 calories, 15 grams of protein, and 39 grams of sugar for the 12-ounce size. Consumer preferences vary between sweet, creamy, and richly chocolatey profiles, and a homemade version can be prepared and dressed up with toppings for a kid-friendly winter activity.
