The hot chocolate velvetiser thread

Got one of these for Christmas.

So far working my way through a variety of Hotel Chocolat selections, but guessing some of you have had these for longer and know of some special treats out there.

Currently enjoying the 70% classic which just hits the spot for me, a deep taste but not going into the realms of bitterness with darks.

Tried the 50% but found it a tad on the milky side, but everyone else seems to enjoy that more.

People still rating these ok ? My youngest has expressed an interest in one for Christmas and I noticed they're £80 in Costco - and I suspect will be on offer for Black Friday too.

Ours has had year round use, and going strong.

I picked up some flakes from a market this weekend just gone.

Absolutely divine, will find out who made them and report back, arguably nicer than anything ive tried to date.

Ive tried the dark (absolutely amazing!!) and the Original also extremely nice.

Have some salted caramel to try later.

£2.50 for 200g isn't bad and works well in the Velvetiser.

Tried it a few times, was way way too milky for me unfortunately. Not bad for a nighttime drink but couldnt really enjoy the chocolate flavor.
