Hot Chocolate

Lovely, thick and creamy

Advantages: Lovely taste, thick and creamy, useful if off my food
Disadvantages: Fiddly to microwave, flip top pops open sometimes

Horlicks is a malted hot drink made with milk, which is marketed as the ideal drink for bedtime based on the old wives tale that a warm milky drink before you go to bed relaxes you and promotes a restful night’s sleep. I'm not really one for sleep aids as I would rather address the issues that are likely to keep me awake, I do listen to music if I can't sleep though. I tend to drink Horlicks when I am off my food as it contains vitamins and minerals, ...
...chocolate one. Horlicks comes in three different varieties, including the Light and Extra Light which are made with water rather than milk. The latter comes in a few different flavours - I've already mentioned the Chocolate one, but that’s another review. The version I’m reviewing is the original one made with milk. PACKAGING AND SIZES Comes in a plastic jar with a royal blue lid that you flip open after you remove the bit of wrapping that ...

Review of Horlicks

The Good Old Days

Advantages: Real Chocolate Hit
Disadvantages: none

...obtain a 125g tub/jar/tin of Cadbury's Cocoa not hat I have in fact seen so many tins of late but they can be found and just add that little touch of nostalgia for those who remember the good old days when stuff tasted like it was supposed to. Those who can recall such sweet and warm memories will know exactly what I'm talking about, other unfortunately will never know what a great taste food had before we started adding all those additives or removing ...
...grow naturally and not forced causing half of the flavour to be lost in the process. To many the bright red and purple tub is maybe more symbolic of Cadbury than the more modern image of the glasses of milk and the bar of chocolate, after all it has been around for donkeys years as have a lot of us. Luckily there are still some things that cannot be spoiled by such devilish tactics and cocoa is one such product. There is an art to making a decent ...

Review of Cadbury's Cocoa

Lovely Bubbles!

Advantages: Dreaming,melt in the mouth chocolate
Disadvantages: We need bigger bars!

Areo has to be my favourite chocolate of all time.As far back as i can remember it was always the chocolate for me. Wether im feeling up or down Areo is the chocolate to make me smile. The tasty chocolate is to die for and it melts in the mouth to leave a gleaming smile on my face, the only problem is they never made a bar as big as my house. Damm you Nestle!!! I would like to say thanks to the foil wrapper,which is a better cleaner,i feel, way ...
...last long enough to benefit from this covering,but its good to know for the lenght it might be on a shop shelf. With all the flavours i have tried the orange is nice and the mint is ok, but the plain good old Aero milk chocolate bar is the one for me. Dont even get me started on the bubbles........but thats for another review! ...

Review of Nestle Aero Chocolate

is there chocolate in this???

Advantages: its sweet and hot
Disadvantages: doesnt taste of chocolate

...if this is because the Galaxy bar itself does not contain much cocoa and that the same can be said of the drink. The other negative for me with this drink compared to many of the others is that it has more calories so I was expecting it to be nicer as generally more fattening thigns are yummier arent they! But it really isnt. The Aero drink is roughly 99 calories per cup whereas this was 115. ...

Review of Galaxy Instant Hot Chocolate Drink

I didn't know it was 100 years old!

Advantages: A calming milky drink, makes a change to tea or coffee
Disadvantages: A bit high in sugar, otherwise none

...you less beautiful and that Ovaltine was just the thing to ensure a good night's rest (I doubt the company would get away with it today!) and - although I view any "wonder products" with a sceptical eye - thinking of this advert made me wonder just how long it had been around. It may come as a surprise to some people - certainly did to me when I checked the company's website - but Ovaltine was first developed by a Swiss chemist, Dr. George Wander, ...
...1990s when I was small, Ovaltine came in a glass jar with a blue-themed label but these days it's more likely to stand out on the tea and coffee aisle thanks to its tapered, bright orange, basically cylindrical screw-top container (with a narrower base). It comes in a 300g size (£2.44 according to tesco.com's current prices) and the relatively recent single serving sachets (29p each at Tesco) - as well as a Light version. I don't know whether it ...
