For some reason my dad is always giving me candy. And me being me, I end up eating the candy. It’s my secret shame.

Anyways, he brought me a big bag of Hershey’s Drops, which I had never tried before. I thought the pieces would be the size of the M&Ms they resemble, but they aren’t. Each drop is approximately the size of a nickle and are pure milk chocolate. There is no shell, yet they feel solid and they don’t make a melty mess everywhere.

I suppose that if you make a dessert recipe with M&Ms (rice crispy squares, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins) and you don’t want to deal with shell mess, these drops might be a perfect substitution. They are rather big, but they should melt into perfect gooey bites of chocolatey goodness.

Serving Size: 15 pieces
Servings Per Container about 6

Seriously, I’ve eaten most of this bag. After about six there’s this sense that it’s too much chocolate at one time. I can’t imagine eating fifteen at once.

So if a realistic serving is 7 pieces, that’s only 100 calories.

I like the idea of these because they are seriously solid. The chocolate has been pressed into such dense little discs that I don’t think there’s much worry that they’ll get all melted and gooey in the cupboard. Though I would have to experiment with the melting point, as no one wants to bite into a cookie and get a hard chunk of chocolate.

My suggestions:

  • Chop them up or send them through a food processor and use them in a milkshake or on ice cream. (I’m picturing an Oreo-style shake, but

Hello darkness, my old friend,
here I am to gaze again
upon the beauty of thy cheek,
your loving Will dost make us weep.
To see you both so rudely parted,
our hearts were broken,
then restarted, with the fire of our yearning,
for "Season 4!" our hearts are burning.
