Harris & James Drinking Chocolate | Rich & Velvety 50% Chocolate Flakes 1kg | Decadent Bean To Bar Hot Chocolate From Cocao Beans | Hand Made in Small Batches

Tastes great and I use it with my hotel chocolate velvetiser and they melt well and it’s very good quality. Also they’re cheaper than the 1st party hotel chocolate ones.

The flavour was nice, but it didnt dissolve in our large dualit chocolate maker amd it was very thin. So we reverted back to our original dualit sachets.

It's the first time I've tried this product and I wasn't disappointed. It's makes the most delicious, smooth hot chocolate, it does say to use 8 heaped teaspoons, I found 5/6 teaspoons enough. I've yet to use this in baking, also good to sprinkle on ice-cream for that chocolate hit.

Was looking for an alternative to the Hotel Chocolat chocolate flakes. Unfortunately this is far too sweet doesn't taste like 50% cocoa. It is very very sweet even in a hot chocolate. I managed to balance it by adding strong cocoa powder. So it won't go to waste. Also doesn't come as flakes mine arrived as a bag of powder. Unfortunately I'd love to support a small British business but this was a let down.

Edit: although I still love the taste I can’t help but notice some hard bits (that I previously thought was bits that didn’t melt) seemingly like some sort of shells? Since it wouldn’t melt away or neither feel like they can be eaten, so I have to strain it away all the time - which I assume could be part of cocoa beans? Some people might be bothered by this hence I’m now only giving a 4 stars instead of previously 5 The Harris & James Drinking Hot Chocolate isn’t your typical supermarket cocoa — and that’s exactly why I love it. It has a deep, velvety richness with a hint of bitterness and acidity that reminds me of a 100% pure dark chocolate piece I once tried (which was too bitter on its own). This, however, strikes a perfect balance — still bold and grown-up, but smooth and drinkable. It’s not overly sweet, which might not suit everyone if you’re used to sugary hot chocolate powders. But if you’re after something closer to real chocolate flavour, this is one of the best I’ve tried. A bonus: it’s also soy- and milk-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. It’s more of a chocolate crumbs so it’s easy to melt.

You know what.... having searched up and down Amazon for some proper hot chocolate that could use in machine, I'm glad I always obsess over reviews.. paid off. Utterly delicious, I'd only advise others to use one less spoonful than directed, so not as heavy. Compare to machines hotel chocolat own available chocolate that you can buy this was slightly cheaper, so I would buy again, would need to see if other flavours were available too.

I’m afraid I did not like this at all. I realise taste is personal, but this to me, has an unpleasant taste, vaguely malty and musty. A friend who tried it also found the taste unusual. So far, I can’t give it away. Sorry to be negative-someone else could find it delicious.

This is proper chocolate, not too sweet, and makes a lovely hot chocolate drink. Also very nice sprinkled over porridge. Other reviews have mentioned a vinegar smell, this doesn’t affect the taste, and is probably as this chocolate is pure, with very little added to it.
