A Christmas themed sleeve for the Galaxy Frothy Ultimate Hot Chocolate. Very cute. Instructions are to use four heaped teaspoons and pour on either hot water or milk. We used water for this first experience. I tend to put milk in instant hot chocolate anyway, and the girls like a squirt of cream, often with sprinkles. I also sometimes put in a spoonful of real hot chocolate, just to give some added depth. But for reviews I just follow the instructions. This is modest hot chocolate. Quite pleasant and inoffensive, but rather less body and chocolate flavour than average. It seems it would be better to make with milk, and we'll give that a go next time.

Now called Galaxy Ultimate Frothy (Fabulously frothy hot chocolate), this is thicker and more frothy than I recall from 2020, though still a little bit lacking in chocolate. The main ingredient is whey permeate, which is a by-product of cheese making, and is a cost-effective milk powder substitute and bulking agent - it is likely the whey permeate that results in the thick body that produces the "froth". Only 9% cocoa powder and 3% milk chocolate - the rest is sugar and other ingredients. Price is £2.60 for 275g from Tesco (or £2.00 with a Clubcard membership). We make it with some milk and mostly hot water. It is an attractive milky drink with some chocolate flavour.
