rat pack hot chocolate

[Mike8472]

I didn't want to hijack the other hot chocolate thread so i have started a new one.

In my opinion it is the best hot chocolate drink, i find the cadburrys ones quite watery.

My problem is my supply of rat packs is dangerously low and I only have a few chocs left.
Who makes the rat pack chocolate and can you buy it on the civilian market on its own, ie. not in ration pack boxes???

No idea who makes the rat versions, but these make a great alternative, thick 'n creamy...

Something very similar to the ratpack stuff comes up in Home Bargains every now and then.

JonathanD, the Poldermill Instant Hot Chocolate Sachets, looks like good value 100 sackets for 12 squids.

I would really rather get my hands on a large quantity of the rat pack stuff though, but I would def consider these as a back up choice

Has it changed since 95? The stuff I remember was like mud with a malteser mixed in for slight flavour.

They used to be put together at Vestey Foods in Kent, not sure now though?

These look useful to have in a pack. Do they require milk or just water? Most of the hot chocolate I see in supermarkets (in tubs) require milk. As I don't have milk in either tea or coffee, I don't often have it in the house, and certainly wouldn't have any in my pack.

Just water.

The mint one form the current rat packs is my favourite
