If you have a velvetiser.. which hot choc do you recommend?

[alittlebaffled24]

I've not been wowed by the hotel chocolat hot chocolate. Can you recommend any please?

Knoops do some nice options or whatever chocolate you like, grated

I've got the velvetiser advent calendar. I really liked the pecan cinnamon one. I also like using a Galaxy ripple to make one.

We chop up actual chocolate, it sometimes needs two birls in the Velvetiser if it hasn’t been done finely. Also this is phenomenal — super thick and not too sweet. I found the Hotel Chocolat stuff a bit disappointing for the ££

I use Whittard- much cheaper than HC. Lots of lovely flavours, I particularly like the hazelnut, mint and orange.

I love the salted caramel one and chocolate gateau

Charbbonel et Walker?

Callebaut do a grated chocolate for hot milk, however it’s a pain to get hold of as it always seems to be out of stock.

So now I buy a large bag of the Callebaut chocolate caillets I like (54%) and grind a large portion up in the food processor. Use a couple of tablespoons in the velvetiser with a little pinch of salt. Tastes amazing. Store in an airtight container.

M&S chocolate flakes. Delicious!

We use the Hotel Chocolat 70% flakes

Another one for using real chocolate!

Favourite one for us is little kinder bars
Caramilk
Wispa

Just grate them up and sprinkle in - beautiful and 10% of the price of the sachets!

Thanks all!

The festive range are all good - my favourite is clementine with salted caramel. The pumpkin spice one is great too (although a bit out of season!).
