About CANDY CANE HOT COCOA MIX, CANDY CANE
Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Mix is a dry beverage mix sold under Target's Archer Farms private-label brand, which was Target's premium grocery store brand prior to the 2019 Good & Gather transition. Categorized within powdered drinks, this product is a minimally formulated hot cocoa mix with peppermint flavoring consistent with a candy cane flavor profile.
The ingredient list is remarkably short: sugar as the primary ingredient providing sweetness, cocoa (processed with alkali — Dutch-process cocoa) providing the chocolate base, silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent, salt for flavor balance, and natural flavor providing the peppermint candy cane character. No dairy ingredients (milk powder, cream) are present, distinguishing this from most conventional hot cocoa mixes that typically include nonfat dry milk. The cocoa is alkalized, giving it a milder, darker flavor than natural cocoa. The minimal ingredient set aligns with the Archer Farms premium positioning. No artificial colors, flavors, or common allergens are present.
Nutritionally, this dry mix provides 357 calories per 100 grams — though as a mix consumed in small quantities dissolved in liquid, actual beverage calories are much lower per serving. Per 100 grams, the macronutrient profile is 3.57 grams protein, 89.29 grams carbohydrates, 0 grams fat, and 3.6 grams dietary fiber. The fiber reflects the cocoa solids. Suitable for dairy-free and vegan diets based on listed ingredients. Gluten-free and allergen-free based on the ingredient panel. Serving size per the USDA entry is 28 grams.
