Product Description

Make it a proper Hot Chocolate Night with this rich, velvety kit made from 70% single-estate Colombian chocolate and a creamy malted blend.

This is the kind of hot chocolate that feels like a hug in a mug. I’ve sourced the chocolate from a family-run producer in Colombia, where the cacao is grown with care and farmers are paid fairly. The malted milk blend brings a nostalgic, toasty depth – like the hot chocolate you grew up with, only better.

It’s made for slow evenings, late-night chats, or that moment when only chocolate will do. And the best bit? You can tweak it however you like – thick and spoonable, light and milky, or even turned into a cheat’s chocolate custard to pour over pudding.

FAQs

Does it contain dairy?

The chocolate buttons themselves are dairy-free, but the malted blend contains barley malt. You can still make it dairy-free using plant-based milk.

What’s the best milk to use?

Whole milk gives the creamiest result, but oat, almond or coconut milk work beautifully too.

Can I use it for anything other than hot chocolate?

Yes - it makes a brilliant chocolate sauce or custard. Just keep stirring and let it thicken.

How sweet is it?

Rich and dark with a subtle malty sweetness. Not too sugary. Add extra sugar if you like it sweeter.
