To ask for help finding awesome hot chocolate?

[TammySwansonTwo]

Gu used to make absolutely amazing cartons of thick hot chocolate (the salted caramel stuff was incredible) but they discontinued it.

Each year I make up the Jamie Oliver recipe - I remember seeing him make it and it was thick and amazing. Mine NEVER comes out like that and have you ever tried to grate a bar of chocolate? Messy and a massive pain in the arse.

I'm yet to find a really good hot chocolate and it's become a mission. I find they're either really thin and too sweet or really bitter.

What are your favourites? Hot chocolate and waffles on Christmas Eve is essential in my house. Would love premade cartons but anything really!

Ciobar is really thick - a bit too much for me.

This is my favourite hot chocolate : www.amazon.co.uk/Charbonnel-Walker-Drinking-Chocolate-300/dp/B008FYYXFG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?keywords=charbonnel+et+walker+hot+chocolate&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1513195054&sr=8-1

I drink the Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate which is basically just finely grated chocolate anyway!

Not cheap, but it’s my one indulgence.

Whittards do an amazing salted caramel one. Just use a bit more milk to get it thicker

Second Spanish hot chocolate

Costa is my favourite , which one tastes the most like that?

Yy Whittards - they had some in TK Maxx last Christmas!

Personally I like Cadburys

Second the Charbonnel Walker one.

When pregnant I craved the Cadbury's Freddo hot chocolate

Godiva is very good indeed

My chocolatier friend does these as part of her range:

PS be careful on her website, it's full of some lovely lovely chocolatey things.....

I also came on to say Spanish hot choc, sold in a clippy tin.

You can buy cartons of ready-made hot chocolate from branches of Paul (French patisserie/boulangerie).

This. Might need diluting with milk a little bit, is v thick and rich.

Ooh I didn't know that about Paul's. I'll get some next time I'm there

Divine hot chocolate is amazing! Our local cafe serves it which is where I discovered it. Just stir into microwaved milk and it's lovely and chocolatey, not too sweet. You can get it at amazon.

Cocoa Mountain
It's fabulous

Whittard of Chelsea do nice ones

Montezuma Hot chocolate is lovely.

Not always what you use but how you make it. Slow cooker always makes it amazingly thick and creamy. Yesterday I even used a Tesco drinking choc (with a nice dollop of Nutella!) and it was amazing

this one

Charbonnel walker does the trick. M and S currently have small packets of hot choc in festive packing, this too is tasy but don't buy it now. I bought mine in sale for pennies so then it becomes even tastier!

M&S festive one is indeed lovely. I've had my first cup of the season tonight

I think it's just grated dark chocolate, delicious and not too sweet.

I’ve tried a lot and my winner is options hot chocolate made with milk in a saucepan.

If you like your hot chocolate with marshmallows, this is the one for you -- it's absolutely gorgeous...
