Fortnum & Masons Caramel hot chocolate drink

 This is a rather luxurious hot chocolate drink, states 300g on the back of the tin but 200g on the website for £15 which seems rather extorntiate.... but.....!!!

(contents - grated chocolate rather than powder)

As this is grated chocolate, it has a slightly different mixing instruction than powder - starting with 2 level measuring tablespoons of the chocolate (and yes, it works best with that amount - you get the full taste with it).  Heat up a mug's worth of milk and then when hot, pour a little into the mug with the chocolate and stir to melt.  Then pour the rest of the milk in, stir and drink.

This has a slightly different texture to the Harrods chocolate which is more full-flavoured.  The Fortnum & Masons has a more subtle flavouring but is more creamy and chocolatey smooth.

The full range can be seen here Fortnum's hot chocolate range

Note: the tin I have says 300g weight on the back of it but the website says 200g weight.  I can only guess the difference is the weight of the snazzy tin....?

  1. Mmmm.... that looks scrumptious! I imagine the tin weighs 100g? How many mugs of cocoa did it make?
