I’ll tell you which one it isn’t – the Hotel Chocolat one that’s just lots of little chocolate flakes that you have to add to milk and slowly heat in a pan, stirring the whole time.
It takes ages, doesn’t work that well, and doesn’t taste that good.
Sainsbury’s had an absolutely amazing own brand hot chocolate powder a few years ago, been chasing that high since as they haven’t brought it back for several Christmases
Take 1 cup of milk.
1 mars bar.
Heat up milk (don’t boil it) add mars bar. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour into mug and drink.
It is by far the best hot Choco ever. So thick and creamy and chocolatey!
Cane & Bean’s chilli or Ginger
We actually had the whittard standard hot chocolate last year, but this year we are using lindt which i think is superior
Baileys or Grand Marnier.
The costa one you get in tesco is amazing. So rich. I like having one in bed after a heavy session on the 🍺
Sticky Toffee Pudding from Whittards is absolutely delish.
The mince pie one from Whittards is also really nice.
Last year I received some hazelnut-cocoa paste (not Nutella brand) as a gift and I started making hot chocolate with it. Delicious.
I used to love the Whittards mint hot chocolate, but they don’t do it anymore. Their orange one is nice too though!
None from there cause they are too bloody expensive now
Well, guess I’m going to be trying all these out over the winter 🙃
Cadbury’s though it’s so expensive we don’t anymore.
I like hot chocolate with half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of honey. Great Christmassy flavour.
Mango white hot chocolate. They released it earlier this year I think.
Hot chocolate season is the best! I’m a big fan of Whittard’s Cookies & Cream flavour.
Just reminded me that I bought some black forest gateaux stuff a while back that I’ve not opened yet, thanks!
I remember a really nice vegan black forest gateaux hot chocolate I had a few years back that used beet for the redness and flavour, was lovely.
I’m a big fan of the black forest hot chocolate from Costa.
£1 per 39g of powder? That’s insane.
I’ve got a velvetiser and recently found out that I can cut up after eights into tiny little pieces and add it when making my hot chocolate. Been a game changer and now live off mint hot chocolates.
None. I’m traditional cocoa all the way. Hot chocolate is far too worldly for me
It was warm enough to wear a tank top where I am, global warming in action 🙁
I love the Asda Black Forest hot chocolate it’s so good 😭😭
One that isn’t nine quid
Knoops 65% chocolate flakes. Costs me £13 a pot. I don’t drink or smoke. This is my one vice.
Twinings Swiss, made in the Velvetiser. There’s a Knoops near us though, and oh my GOD, my life has been changed.
Actually, about 15-20 years ago they did a Galaxy hot chocolate which was essentially chocolate milk in a cup which you microwaved at home. It was like drinking a molten Galaxy. I miss it still.
I only use the hotel chocolat velvitiser now. It’s ruined ALL other hot chocolates and makers out there. Coffee shop hot chocolates suck.
I personally go for their chocolate orange and top it up with a bit of the Classic chocolate mix.
It’s to die for.
Few cubes of dark chocolate, milk, in the milk frother (dualit one) and done. No need for any of these expensive powders that are mostly sugar and no cocoa. Just real chocolate
If anyone drinks a lot of hot chocolate, I really recommend [pendragon](https://pendragondrinks.co.uk/belgian-style-hot-chocolate/) bags by the kilo. They are great value considering current cocoa prices. I prefer the unsweetened style but they also do sweetened flavours. The 85% dark is proper stuff

Unfortunately l get migraines from hot chocolate! Though l love it so much l still make the odd cup. That mix looks great
Cadbury one made with hot milk.
Kicking myself for not buying the Whittards cherry bakewell one I tried in store – feels like the one that got away
Its 17 degrees in London today, I’m getting the ice lollies out

This stuff or their Cardamom and Clove flavour. Low res as grabbed from website.
£9 for hot chocolate? For that price I want someone to to gently cup my nuts as they pour it into my mouth
I get the proper stuff in bulk from Pendragon drinks, basically the same as hotel chocolat but much cheaper

It WAS this, until it got discontinued 🙁
