Inver Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I like hot chocolate, preferably Cadbury's with hot milk etc. but recently I have been enjoying the 'Options' Belgian chocolate variety. I have had two today so far and can feel the urge for another one soon. What is your favourite 'Options'? I voted Choc and Hazelnut. Edited February 4, 2009 by Inver Quote
Ben Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Cadburys and Galaxy, can't go wrong there! I just had one now. Quote
Rawr Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Ah i luuurve hot chocolate especially when im settling down amongst the blankets to watch a film or read. I like Cadbury's a lot, in fact when i looked in my cupboard earlier, i still have one and a half containers full lmao! I like the look of the Galaxy one and also i would like to try a mint flavoured one! Quote
Inver Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 Just been on the 'Options' web site and there is a limited edition of 'Turkish Delight'.... not sure if I fancy that one!! Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Mint and vanilla, I adore hot choc, especially the Options ones like you say Quote
Chimera Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I'm not sure what all these 'options' hot chocolates are, probably UK brands... But I love hot chocolate! It doesnt need to be anything fancy with mint or orange in the mix. Just plain creamy steaming chocolate is perfect! Luckily at work we have a free hot drinks distributor which includes excellent hot chocolate *grins* Quote
Kell Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I actually prefer making my own hot chocolate with milk and the darkest chocolate I can find, add a dab of honey, some cinnamon and a dash of chilli (yes, chilli!) and you have the perfect warming, indulgent hot chocolate drink. I only make it very occasionally though, as a special treat! Quote

Michelle Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 The aspartame discussion as been moved to it's own thread, on Inver's request. Quote
Chimera Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Lucky you, Chimera! It's just little sachets of one hot choc drink in a flavour, such as mint or belgian chocolate And yes you're very lucky! I know, it's a big plus for the job (which is great anyway but still, it's a perk) I prefer not to think of the quantity of sugar I consume with it though I wish there was a "less sugar" option.

I have heard that chilli just adds that little something to it too...mmmmm:mrgreen: Michelle - thank you for moving the aspartame discussion. No offence Nellie, but this was just supposed to be a fun post. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 My favourite is the Options Mint Hot Chocolate Yummy! Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 My favourite is the Options Mint Hot Chocolate Yummy! Yeah mine too, you've made me want it so much, I'm going to pop to the shop in a mo and get some! Quote
Talisman Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I don't make a habit of drinking these, but when I do, it's mint or hazlenut for me. Quote
Charm Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Just been on the 'Options' web site and there is a limited edition of 'Turkish Delight'.... not sure if I fancy that one!! Its delicious! Its actually my favourite but its not in your poll! Quote
Inver Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 Sorry Charm I didn't know it was ont there until I had a browse on the site. Have never drunk 'Turkish Delight' before The mint one seems to be popular. Quote
Janet Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 These are far too sweet for me. I don't often have hot chocolate but if I do, I make it with Cocoa then I can add a minuscule amount of sugar! My son likes the normal Belgium chocolate one, and my daughter the white chocolate one though. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I don't really like the Options ones. My favourite hot chocolate generally is Green and Blacks. But it's a bit expensive so I usually have Cadbury's instead which is more than good enough. I tried the Twinnings one once which looked amazing (like proper flakes of chocolate) but was disappointing. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The best hot chocolate I have ever had was in a little cafe in Verona in September '05. They made it the proper way, like in the movie Chocolat - it was so thick you needed a spoon to eat it (ok maybe not quite that thick, but it was thick). Quote
Inver Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Sounds like my kind a hot choc....with a spoon.... It might almost be time for a hot choc me thinks.....cold and snowy here today. Quote
Heather Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I have chosen four belgain,mint, coconut and double choc. Quote
Andaira Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Definitely hazelnut for me, though I'm not too picky when it comes to hot chocolate...well, when it's chocolate in any way or form Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I bought some mint options last night at the shop, so i shall be having a lovely big cup full with dinner Quote
