The best hot chocolate

[FerryCrossTheMersey]

I would like to know what hot chocolate you drink at home. My favourite is Costa hot chocolate, but unfortunately I cannot make it at home, and they don’t seem to make any pods for a tassimo machine to help my craving.
What do you recommend?
Oh and I probably should mention I don’t like the instant Cadbury hot chocolate. The galaxy one is okay but doesn’t compare to Costa. Thank you.

Green and Blacks is tasty!

I melt Valrhona chocolate and add warm milk. That is the best hot chocolate.

Someone else has just asked similar

Luxury hot chocolate powder www.mumsnet.com/Talk/Christmas/4054850-Luxury-hot-chocolate-powder

Cadbury’s hot chocolate powder and proper milk. Can’t beat it. Any instant hot chocolate powder needs putting in the bin.

Second Green and Blacks made with full fat milk.

Similar to @Mominatrix, quality chocolate melted and whisked with hot milk.

Haven't tried Valrhona chocolate though.

Options (the mint one) is my favourite.
With copious quantities of whipped cream...

Another vote for Green and Blacks here.

Clipper fair trade

Easy - Green & Blacks. Although I should mention I find all hot chocolate too rich, I make it with mostly water, & about an inch of milk.

More effort - a decent 80-90% chocolate, such as Lindt, grated & melted into half hot milk & half boiling water. I grate it when I'm bored, ready for use.

DH & DD like the Galaxy instant stuff... with marshmallows I feel I'm the odd one out somehow.

Cadbury's - not the instant one that you make with water but the powder that you put in hot milk.

Hotel Chocolat salted caramel one, it's sooooo good!

Charbonnel and Walker ❤️

The Cadbury one. Not the instant one, the one where you add milk. Hotel Chocolat dark chilli is divine as well.

Aldi do an amazing one

Bettys

All the instant hot chocolates taste artificial (to me)

You can't beat Cadbury's unsweetened cocoa powder. Heat up your (full fat) milk add a teaspoon of cocoa powder and sugar to taste and mix until it's all dissolved.... delicious and even better with a good glug of Baileys and some whipped cream on top

Green and Blacks here too, really rich

Whittards of Chelsea is my personal favourite - even flavour I’ve tried is amazing - but be careful as some flavours have a high cocoa content and taste more like dark chocolate

Clipper hot chocolate is delicious

I don't remember who made it or where I got it from but it was shavings of real dark and milk chocolate that you melt into hot milk. If you do a half/half mix of milk and single cream it's more rich and luxurious.

Hot chocolate made in the slow cooker with milk, cream and chocolate chips is also delicious.

Hotel chocolat salted caramel or white vanilla...in fact any of theirs, they are all amazing!

Hotel Chocolat hazelnut flavour, made in their velvetiser. Delicious.
