    4 Stars Take a break for an instant chocolate fix 15/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick, easy , tasty

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sludge layer if you don't keep stirring

    Sometimes a cup of tea or coffee isn’t quite what I would like. Now a cup of hot chocolate, that’s more like it. Hot chocolate takes me back to being a kid; I always had a cup when I came in from swimming! There must be something about kids and hot chocolate because both my girls love it. The only problem is that to make real hot chocolate using cocoa powder and milk is such a faff, so the range of instant hot chocolate drinks make it a lot easier. My favourite is Cadbury’s Instant Break. It comes in a glass jar, which holds 400g of powder. The dark brown, squareish jar has a purple lid and a ... more

    1 Star My perfect chocolate moment 13/01/2003
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages the price and the quantity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages made with grainy choc balls instead of powder, not very chocolaty

    I’m relaxing on a warm, cosy sofa in the middle of a warm coloured living room, in front of a warm blazing log fire, on an icy cold winters night; with a mug of deliciously frothy hot chocolate in one hand and a huge bar of Cadburys dairy milk in the other. A faint sound of Enya in the background, my pets snuggled up to my body, fast asleep, the pitter-patter of snow landing on the grass outside. Ah that would be my perfect chocolate moment. Ok, so maybe that’s not everyone’s idea of a perfect chocolate moment. So, in real life that situation would never work out. I am not ... more

    5 Stars A protein milkshake with the Tupperware lady 22/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to make, delicious to taste, good price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    The luscious lady from Tupperware showed me how to hold it straight and pump it up and down until I got all hot and bothered. “Look out for the build up of froth, darling, and you know you’re nearly there” she said in her sweet irresistible voice. “Then hold onto the top and gentle turn it until it pops, otherwise it’ll come out all over the kitchen floor.” When she poured the hot chocolate from the special beaker into my mug I was sold. I bought the frothy hot chocolate shaker there and then. I’ve been in love with hot chocolate for years and rate any café or restaurant not on the quality of ... more

    1 Star An Instant Waste Of Steve's Money 10/12/2002
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Could be used to poison your enemies

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Way too many to list

    Now you would think that after the Cornflake incident I wouldn’t be so foolish to let someone else do my shopping again wouldn’t you !! But ha !! You forgot to take into account lapses in my sanity where I loose all sense of reason and agree to things that I really should know better about by now. Okay I admit it I am a moron. So taking a break from my series of ten choccy bar ops I thought I would let you in on what happened today !! Why ?? Because I can and because you will all laugh at me and I am anything if not a masochist !! See I guess that it is really my fault but because it’s me ... more

    4 Stars Some Like It Hot 30/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Chocolately, quick and easy to prepare

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Leaves a slightly powdery after-taste

    I’m craving chocolate. It’s getting serious now. I’m hunting in the pantry for the Galaxy I brought the other day. But I ate it damn it. Typical, I’m snowed in, I’m cold and I really want to snuggle down and watch Friends with chocolate, and there’s none in the house... except for ice cream... I repeat- I’m cold. So I reach for the hot chocolate, and at only 3.9g fat per serving, it’s a yummy and warming alternative to a choccie bar. Cadbury’s Instant Break comes in a purple lidded glass jar with a silver label and purple detail. The lid ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tastes delicious,perfect for any time of day, easy to make.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A jar won't last very long,more expensive than shop brands.

    Well now winter is upon us there is nothing more satisfying than getting your hands on something hot and steamy..ooo er, maybe at this point I should actually say " Hot Chocolate", before any of you get the wrong idea!! I am not a great fan of coffee or tea really although I will drink them I much prefer chocolate, in fact hot chocolate,chocolate bars, biscuits etc etc, in other words I am a self confessed chocoholic!! There are various brands of instant hot chocolate around but beware of the non branded versions as they might be cheap but beleive me they taste disgusting! My favourite without ... more

    5 Stars Drink The Chocolate!!!! 23/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great for the child inside

    Disadvantages Disadvantages sugary

    Cadburys Hot Chocolate Drink… When you really need that chocolate hit and you haven't got a choccie bar handy then this is the perfect thing to get out of the back of the cupboard. This is why I always make sure, whether it is summer or winter, that I have a pot of this somewhere in the house! The perfect taste of Cadburys chocolate is here and its in powder form for us all to enjoy to our own taste. The joy of having this is your own stock is that you can make your drink as strong, or as little, in chocolate taste as you like. For about the bargain price of around £2 (or a little more if your ... more

    5 Stars I had an urge this morning .... 13/11/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The taste!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The calories!

    I woke up early this morning and I knew that I just had to have it. I hadn’t had it for ages; in fact the last time must have been more than a year ago, but today would be the day. I’m still enjoying it as I write this opinion so I thought I’d let you share the experience with me – after all it would be selfish to do it on my own wouldn’t it? Just to let you know how this wonderful but sinful situation came about, I’ll tell you what happens in the bedroom. As you may have noticed from the times of some of my comments I often wake up really early and can’t get back to sleep, so I usually get up ... more

    5 Stars Do you fancy a drink 04/11/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages yum

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too yum

    I am a great fan of hot chocolate, it reminds me of winter. I love it at night cuddled up on the sofa with the fire on!!! I think it is just a nice change from a cup of tea or coffee! I’m not very fussy about what type of Hot chocolate I have but I have grown to LOVE this one!! I didn’t choose it for any particular reason; I just fancied something different after getting bored of Options! I like to try out different brands! Its excellent value for money, £1.69 for a 400g jar. However it is often on offer for BOGOF. I buy it from Sainsbury’s. But it is available from all supermarkets for a ... more

    4 Stars Will you get as hooked as me? 24/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, very tasty! And addictive!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not very good for you, but who will know :-)

    I personally love this product, so I thought that it would be nice to review it! I have adapted this product according to my own uses too (as I have mentioned at the bottom of the variation!). However, I've stopped drinking this since Easter when I finally saw the advantages of eating healthily. But I still remember it well....enjoy reading.... *The Taste* The taste of this product is very definitive, very chocolatey and sugary, hence tasting divine! If you're a chocoholic then this is for you! It's luxury in a tub according to me, although the luxury shows on the hips a bit! This is a very ... more
