Cocoa or hot chocolate?

[mrsniggywinkle]

I tend to buy cocoa powder and then just add a little sugar at the end, but I have just run out of cocoa powder and wondering whether to switch to hot choc. It all seems to contain so many additives and unnecessary ingredients tho. Any recommendations please?

If you care about additives then I’d just buy another pot of cocoa tbh! You could use a milk frother to whizz up your milk to be fancier

There’s Hotel Chocolat if you want to go posh. I treat myself to it sometimes: otherwise I’ve had Green and Blacks, perhaps I should try cocoa powder and sugar.

Do they really contain so many additives?

Green and Blacks
Organic cocoa powder (98 %), acidity regulator (potassium carbonates)
Vs
Cadbury hot chocolate
Sugar, cocoa powder, acidity regulator (potassium carbonates), flavouring

It hardly seems like an exhaustive list full of additives.

If you’re happy with how you make it why change it though?

Stick to cocoa, it tastes better and is much better for you. It's expensive now of course because of the price of cocoa going up at source.
