Dolce Gusto hot chocolate - worth it?

I keep seeing different pods of hot chocolate (Milky Way / Maltesers etc) and they are very tempting. Are they just the same as the ones you can get in a tub, or do they come out creamier or something? I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but B&M had the Dolce Gusto machines for £15(!) and I'm wondering whether to get one mostly for hot chocolate.

NB. I know they are terrible for the environment sorry
I also know about the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser which I would love but cannot afford!

Not worth it. The machine might be cheap but the pods aren't and they're not great anyway. Dried milk. Much better getting a milk frother to heat your milk.

Its nicer than instant hot chocolate but nothing like a hot chocolate made with actual chocolate.

(I have an aldi machine that can take both DC and nespresso capsules)

You can get reusable capsules.

Rip off and you need to use 2 capsules to fill a mug
