To ask what your favourite hot chocolate is?

[ChocolateIsAlwaysTheAnswer]

Mine is the starbucks hot chocolate powder that you can get in asda but am looking for others ideas. I am not really a fan of dark chocolate and sweeter the better.

Lindt do one. It's amazing!

The kids are obsessed with Asda extra special hot chocolate made with oat milk. It’s really really good to be fair to them. I’d say oat beats dairy for a hot chocolate, especially at bedtime.

I used to work in an office where they sold a hot chocolate in a vending machine.

35p. Absolutely amazing.

I too love the vending machine chocolate in an old workplace. Mine was free though.

I've got an Aero one on the go and I'm finding it a bit tasteless

Options Belgian choc powder made with semi skimmed milk and bit of double cream in the Velvetiser

Green & Black's hot chocolate with cow's milk or oat milk. Delicious. Chocolately and just the right amount of sweetness (not sickly or bitter).

I still like nesquik!

I dislike UK hot chocolate. Usually it's a giant mug of hot milk with barely a trace of chocolate. I like the small, thick, very strong cups of hot chocolate you get in many continental European countries. I never bother making hot chocolate at home as I've never found a brand I like.

Gosh, is that still going?

Marimba is the best

Hotel chocolat is nice but a bit expensive- the salted caramel is good if you want sweetness. I usually just get it at Xmas to make it special.

My favourite day to day brand is twining sweet hot chocolate. Makes a nice, smooth milky hot chocolate. You get a good amount of powder in the tub, it lasts longer than other brands like Cadburys etc. You can always add a teaspoon or two of sugar if you want it sweeter.

Green and blacks hot chocolate

Swiss Miss, it’s wonderful

Callebaut off of amazon. Amazing!

Ovaltine hot chocolate is my fav, takes me right back to my childhood

@MotherofPearl
If you go to Spain on holiday buy packets of Clavileño o Valor (“chocolate a la taza” is the name of the product). Valor can be found all over Spain; Clavileño is the best brand, but not available everywhere although you can find it easily in any supermarket in the Costa Blanca area (both brands are local). So take a note for your next trip to Alicante / Benidorm.

Oooh thanks @LaBrujaPiruja good tip!

Errol Brown's Hot Chocolate for me.

I try others but like options hot choc, usually buy when on offer for £2

I do sometimes make bournville cocoa powder hot chocolate with soya milk - but its certainly not sweet and very dark

A mixture of single cream and full fat milk heated up with a bit of vanilla stirred in and then plenty of milk chocolate curls whisked in until melted and hot enough to serve.

For a “olden times” experience, some of these brands still elaborate the “chocolate de la virgen” (because of the image of our lady in the package) which is a chocolate bar where cocoa has been mixed with flour, rice flour or cornflour and dissolves in boiling milk creating the dark thick chocolate I think you would like.
