“Perfect for those chilly autumn evenings, we’ve launched four new drinking chocolates: Mocha Latte, Salted Caramel, 70 per cent Dark and 50 per cent Milk.”
“Made with rich and velvety smooth Belgian chocolate, they’re ideal for whipping up in a milk frother, microwave or pan, then finishing with your favourite toppings.
“With five sachets in each box, we make that one for your morning mug, your bag, your desk drawer, the car and your pocket too.”
Describing the mocha latte, the retailer said that the drink “blends rich dark chocolate with a hint of coffee”, perfect as a “warming treat with bold flavour”.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The salted caramel flavour is deemed a “luxurious twist on a classic treat”. Each box costs £6.
The regular milk chocolate variant was dubbed “the ultimate velvety, smooth hot chocolate”, while the dark chocolate option is “indulgent without being overly sweet” – a “go-to for serious chocolate fans”.
One fan made their feelings clear, replying to the festive announcement saying: “This post just knocked seasonal depression right out of me.”
Meanwhile, another fuelled speculation by commenting: “People are saying they are better than Hotel Chocolat…”
A third customer tried the Salted Caramel hot chocolate, describing the experience as “quite nice, very rich and creamy”.
A fourth suggested the concept of a variety box, allowing fans to indulge themselves in all the flavours offered, while another dubbed the creation a “must-find”.
All of the items are available in stores up and down the nation now.
