I've run out of hot chocolate sad.gif

Can anyone recommend a new one for me to get? What are Whittard's Hot Chocolate like? What about Twinings?

Thanks!

The Twinings Chocolate Indulgence is good smile.gif. It's sort of like Green & Blacks with a few pieces of chocolate dissolved in it too.

I've just run out of Twinings Hot Chocolate. We have some G+B, but I am lazy and would rather I can make it with water rather than milk.
YetAnotherPianist
Oh, okay; let me know if you find something that works smile.gif. I only drink hot chocolate when we have milk that needs drinking, or have bought some milk specifically for the purpose.

Have you had a chocolate mint bliss this season yet? smile.gif
nicki_flute
No, because apparently they're not doing it any more *cries*

Just gone on the Bar Chocolat website and wanted to contact them, and their online entry form won't send. You click the "send" button and nothing happens sad.gif sad.gif

Oh, drat sad.gif.

Costa have seasonal hot chocs in now - various combinations of flakes, marshmallows and whipped cream smile.gif.

Yeah, Whittards is really nice. They do really nice iced coffee powder as well.

Yeah, I like it better too. Just drinking a mug of Green and Blacks at the moment. Mmm...

I just can never be bothered to get milk out, especially if we don't have much.

Ugh, hot chocolate made with water is just not hot chocolate!!! It's horrible. No comparison to milk!!
nicki_flute
Might have some Green and Blacks hot chocolate later..

It's even better made with whipping cream - I had some left over once and used it with a little water as a basis for a hot chocolate wub.gif.
nicki_flute
Mmmm, that sounds good.

Tesco's own make is my fave! smile.gif

My afternoon treat is G&B made with 1/2-3/4 milk plus water, and laced with just a little of their Maya Gold drinking chocolate which I find much too sweet by itself. Mmmmmm....
nicki_flute
Not tried their Maya Gold, but I like the chocolate!

I think I'd like the milk chocolate better, but I'll have a try sometime

I can't stand it with milk alone , must add at least 1/4 water.
