Hotel Chocolat Milky 50% Drinking Chocolate, 3 x 250 g Resealable Pouches

Hot chocolate is a luxury drink and these are luxury flakes. I have never once checked the dates as I get through these pouches with an almost indecent haste. I use the scoop that came with another chocolate product (basically a kilo of choccy dust in a cardboard tube) and that is the equivalent of around six level coffeespoons of flakes - any more and, for me, the taste is negatively affected. Squirty cream is an optional extra. I use my Royal Copenhagen Colour Contrast mugs, the handle-less design and silicone sleeve provides a truly comforting hold: the mugs that came with my Velvetiser were awful and are used to measure bird food. I have arthritic hands so having the Velvetiser to do the hard work was a must. I bought mine direct from HC as it was Black Friday and they offered me a further £20 off, it would have been rude not to avail myself of their kindness. The bags, however, have to come from Amazon simply for the speed of delivery; Amazon usually wins on that front. Right, France v Ireland 6 Nations and a hot chocolate beckon . . . . A month or so later I now buy direct from HC, I set up a subscription and get free delivery plus a better range of choice. It is a little more expensive but they offer what I want.

Makes the best hot chocolate ever

Good value, a bit slow to arrive, but we'll worth it

Perfect for my velvetiser, makes amazing hot chocolate, and comes in a large volume so lasts a long time. It’s a similar price to the Hotel Chocolat website, but it’s just more convenient to buy on Amazon. The only way it could be better is if there was a wider range of flavours.

I’ve finally treated myself to a velvetiser. I wanted to be ready for when it arrived so I ordered these. I mean who could go wrong with hazelnut? It’s nice but I’m not a lover of dark chocolate so this is a little too bitter for me. The solution I’ve found is to add a little Bailey’s.

70% is the perfect balance of swiftness and bitter chocolate taste in my opinion! You'll never be able to powder chocolate again.

The salted caramel hotel chocolat hot choc is my favourite of all the available flavours. This 3 pack offer from Amazon is the best value for money. You can get this offer for most of the flavours available, and you can also get it as a regular delivery so you never run out! Best hot choc ever!!

HI, This is probably the best chocolate to make a hot chocolate with. But saying that its expensive but worth it as a treat. See my other review for a great milk frother at a great price. Both these items combined make a great hot chocolate drink.
