Drinking chocolate

[Spikey DaPikey]

Rat pack stuff mainly, or the cadburys mint choc...... both better with a shot of brandy

Milo and powdered milk.

You can get Milo in the UK? Where? I've only ever seen it in Namibia

Have to go with Rat-pack choc when I can get it. Lidls used to be good before they stopped selling it

Sainsbury's or Tesco's, with the other hot drinks.

I've also found a source of Nido

I go for the horlicks malt choc individual packets when I am treking. One for each night before bed when I am sat in my tent. A great time of day

ps. also tastes good with a nip of whisky in it

The little Tesco in town doesn't have it but the Sainsubry's in the Guildhall centre does.

Nido is powdered whole milk.

I was thinking of the big Sainsburys out at Marsh Barton as that's the way I head into town

Nido is powdered whole milk.

interesting... Again, when in Namibia, we had bags of powdered milk (called Nestle i think) which was much better than anything I've used in the UK

 

[Man of Tanith]

one sachet of chocolate horlicks
one sachet malteasers hot chocolate
one over generous slug of brandy

drink then sleep

or at home 100/200ml warmed milk
two spoons whittards dreamtime chocolate
half bar little bar galaxy chocolate
brandy (for me not lisa or shan)
slug of baileys makes an interesting mixer

Sleep

mind you any hot choc is good if its got brandy in it

Can't help thinking (and just the thought makes me drool) that Montezuma's Nutmeg chocolate grated into hot milk would be sooper-d-dooper at the end of the day.

 

[johnnytheboy]

That sound gid

One I use to make up was the following:

Mix all the following together then just use 4 table spoons in hot water.

100g of each
Shop value chocolate powder
Coca powder
Powder milk
Chocolate angel delight

I don't often go there but they should have it.

Well, Nido is made by Nestle so it sould well be the same stuff.

I got in from work the other day and pulled a tin of Milo out my bag. "Wow Milo, I haven't seen that since I lived in New Zealand!" says mum.

 

[dgardner]

Gotta say I love Nido, most Indian shops sell it in massive packs for about £15.00

Right I'm just trying Galaxy drinking chocolate, 4 heaped tsp but I still want something a bit more richer. So I'm blending together some ingredients. Watch this space

 

[hairyhippy]

If you come across the co op own brand hot choc it really is worth a punt.

 

[naefearjustbeer]

Aye the coop fairtrade hot chocolate is excellent stuff.

 

[Bluemerle]

Any good drinking choc and then a slug of cointreau, its a great nightcap as you hunker down in your sleeping bag!

 

[scottishwolf]

Aldi's own. Big jar for a quid and it's better the Cadbury's in my opinion. Doesn't leave sediment in the bottom of the cup either.

 

[Everything Mac]

Was just about to make another thread about this.

does anyone add stuff to their hot choc? other than brandy? I want to make mine a bit more bulky - I'll be trying the mars bar thing soon though.

Extra G&B 85% chocolate!

The best hot chocolate I've ever had was at the Bonatti Refuge in Italy - it was so good I took a photo.
