Hello!

Im possibly being gifted an old style of the velvetiser .. however the sachets are SO expensive!!

what other chocolate flakes do you guys use for the same results?

I get the 1kg bags from pendragon drinks. Work fine for me but ages since I used real
sachets so I can’t really compare.

Are you near an Outlet store at all OP? The Hotel Chocolat Bridgend store does the boxes for £6.95 at the moment, so less than half the price of the regular stores. I do a big stock up whenever we go!

I just get the Cadbury or Galaxy sachets and they are just as good tbh.

Having said that, the hotel chocolat salted caramel cannot be beaten.

Ahhh. No unfortunately I’m not. Shame they don’t offer that sort of deal online

Another vote for 1kg bags from pendragon. Works well in the velvetiser.

Yes, just the regular powder. Milk in the velvetiser first then the powder on top. I get the sachets as DD likes to make herself a hot chocolate and it is carnage if there is a jar and teaspoon involved. 😂

Hahaha yeah I get that!!! I don’t think I’m brave enough to even let mine try!

Whittards work well too. Raspberry Ripple is lovely ☺️

Just google pendragon drinks. I think it used to be on Amazon but I haven’t seen it recently. It’s lovely stuff!

You’re a gem!, thank you

Any sort of cocoa powder, drinking chocolate, flavoured drinking chocolate, ovaltine, horlicks, whatever you like, just measure a suitable portion of powder (figure it out by trial and error) and away you go.

Whittard's isn't exactly cheap either but is good quality.

Thank you, I just didn’t know if it made a difference if it wasn’t actual chocolate flakes .. doesn’t appear it does
