“I have to say this is probably one of the most beautifully packaged Trader Joe’s products out there. The ornaments from the outside of the box look just like real ornaments. They are the size of real ornaments, which is a little off-putting because you are thinking to yourself, how am I going to get that in my cup with some milk? No worries, they are quite hollow and melt pretty easily.
Let’s back up a bit. These are hollow chocolate spheres, painted with glitter and filled with mini marshmallows. To make these, heat up a cup (according to the directions) of milk to just a boil then drop the ornament into the hot milk and watch it melt. Mine sat there for quite a long time but eventually (with the help of a little spoon), I got it to melt and the tiny marshmallows float to the surface. Make sure you stir because once the ornament has a hole in it, it will sink and all the melted chocolate just goes to the bottom.
At the end of the day, this was just meh for me. Very sweet, not very chocolatey (dark chocolate next time?) and a huge amount of calories all add up to something I might pass on. My kids on the other hand loved it and if this is a once-a-year special drink after a cold day running around in the snow or something, I would let it pass. But not something I would drink too much of.”
