Hasslacher's 250g hot drinking chocolate drops

Fantastic product, in that you can create, amongst other things, a very decent, crud free hot chocolate.My personal recipe is;- Microwave a cup of full fat milk to a warm, not hot temperature (60 - 90 seconds from fridge cold does the trick) ***Fill the cup about 3/4, not to the top as the milk will froth / expand***- Add the recommended / preferable amount of cacao drops to the cup- Add a level tea spoon of medium maple syrup (Duchy organic No.1 medium is great)- Add pinch of salt (pink Himalayan salt if we're going for perfection)- Transfer contents of cup to a blender (or use a protein shaker cup) ***this is why you need to ensure the milk is not too hot, else it will erupt!***- Mix / shake well, to bind ingredients and create a good froth, and transfer back to cup- Return cup back to the microwave for another 30 - 40 seconds to a hot / drinking temperature- Dust with cacao powder- Drink

Nice enough but I needed a sweetener. Proper chocolate but very expensive for 250g at 15g a mug.

This is the best hot chocolate Iv'e had! absolute love it, very creamy, great taste and not sweet :) (you can sweeten it if you want to)

Hi ,I just opened this to find a strange fungus and the drops all clustered together. What Shiite do?

It appears expensive at first but you don't need much at a time because it is so concentrated. I use it in milk puddings and in a hot chocolate drink made up of a mixture of Cadbury's hot chocolate powder and some of the Hasslacher's chocolate drops which melt quite quickly in the milk as I heat it up. The result is not so sweet as using chocolate powder only. Much more luxurious.

Bought this as a gift and she loved it!

Very difficult to melt, not a nice smooth chocolaty taste.

Went down very well with our daughter who we bought it for as a birthday present. I've not tried it yet but she says it is very nice.
