Cadbury Instant Hot Chocolate

 



We bought this when staying at a Premier Inn near Tower Bridge in London because our supply of Tesco hot chocolate that we had brought with us was running out. It cost £4.00 for 400g from the Co-op opposite the hotel, though would only have cost £2.50 if we'd bought it in our local Tesco.  The Tesco Hot Chocolate cost us £1.60 for 400g. We did a blind taste test of the Tesco and the Cadbury. One of us preferred the Cadbury, one preferred the Tesco, and one couldn't tell the difference. Go figure. 

It makes a nice smooth chocolate drink. It tastes smoother and richer if some milk is used as well (or instead of) the water. That is true of all instant hot chocolates. It tastes more chocolaty if some cocoa powder is mixed in. And best of all is mixing in some cocoa powder and some milk. And save your money and buy Tesco or Lidl hot chocolate and Tesco or Lidl cocoa, blend the powder together and make with part milk and part water. Job done. Go to bed with a smile on your face.
