Ready-to-Heat Cocoa Beverages

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Darigold's 'Heat N' Serve Hot Cocoa' Quickly Provides Comfort

— October 13, 2017 — Lifestyle
As an alternative to the many powdery hot cocoa mixes on the market (many of which remain grainy even after mixing) Darigold introduced an all-new way for consumers to warm up during the colder month with its liquid Heat N' Serve Hot Cocoa.

The Heat N' Serve Hot Cocoa is packaged in a resealable carton—just like ready-to-drink milk or other seasonal beverages such as eggnog—and is made with a blend of whole milk, cream, real cocoa and liquid sugar. With all of the essential ingredients already measured and mixed, the Heat N' Serve Hot Cocoa simplifies the process of making hot cocoa to one that only needs heating.

When it comes to warming the Heat N' Serve Hot Cocoa, there are three appliances that may be used: the stovetop, the microwave or a milk steamer.
Trend Themes
1. Resealable Packaging for Ready-to-heat Beverages - Exploring the use of resealable packaging for ready-to-heat beverages can offer convenience and ease for consumers.
2. Simplified Hot Beverage Preparation - Simplifying the process of making hot cocoa using pre-measured and mixed ingredients presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the hot beverage industry.
3. Multi-appliance Compatibility for Heating Beverages - Developing ready-to-heat beverages that can be heated using various appliances like stovetops, microwaves, or milk steamers can cater to different consumer preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Packaging - The beverage packaging industry can explore innovative resealable packaging solutions that enhance convenience for consumers.
2. Hot Beverage - The hot beverage industry can leverage simplified hot beverage preparation methods to attract consumers seeking quick and hassle-free hot beverage options.
3. Kitchen Appliances - The kitchen appliance industry can identify opportunities to develop versatile appliances that efficiently heat a variety of ready-to-heat beverages.
