Sainsbury's Mint Flavour Hot Chocolate

 

Christmas is coming so Sainsbury's bring out their Christmas themed hot chocolate powders.  The Orange was really nice. This Mint, is also good, though a little less so than the Orange. The mint flavour is not quite perky enough, and the chocolate fades into the background somewhat. Milk and sugar somewhat dominate, with the menthol from the mint making itself felt long before any chocolate gets a look in. Nice enough. Be fun to try a blend of the Orange and Mint.

Sainsbury's Orange Flavour Hot Chocolate

 

Decent stuff.  Two spoonfuls in a mug of hot milk. Lovely. Mainly orange flavour, but with a good meld of milky chocolate. It's kind of like those Club Orange biscuits, but without the biscuit, and liquid and warm. Yes. Nice. I could drink this again. Perhaps not for when you want a proper hot chocolate, but for those times when you want something a little different. Good for Christmas for those of us who associate oranges with Christmas. I certainly do. Oranges were a treat when I was little. And on Christmas morning I would wake up with a stocking on my bed, and at the bottom would always be an orange or tangerine. Ah. Memories....
