Oprah’s popular “Favorite Things” list is out for 2024 — and this year, it includes a local favorite. French Broad Chocolate was highlighted for its rich and delectable Classic Hot Chocolate Collection.

The hot chocolate not only got Oprah’s stamp of approval. Her longtime friend Gayle King is also a fan, as Oprah explains in the gift guide, “When it comes to hot chocolate, I trust Gayle, who loves this trio in vanilla bean, classic, and cinnamon flavors.”

French Broad Chocolate’s factory along Riverside Drive experienced flooding damage, and co-founder + CEO Jael Skeffington said that “This recognition has been a silver lining as we work to get back on our feet after a challenging and devastating time for our community.”

If you want to gift the decadent Classic Hot Chocolate Collection, you can purchase it directly from French Broad Chocolate.
