first hot chocolate of the season
 

I don't know what the weather is like for you at the moment, but it's a bit of a chilly night here. So I decided it was time. From the back of the cupboard I dug out a jar of something i've been saving since the beginning of spring. Hot Chocolate. Options, Belgian Chocolate flavour.
Normally I hate the cold. I'd rather be warm and comfy, like the weather we've had this summer, when it wasn't raining. but this is the good part of the coming winter; the fact that I can now start drinking hot chocolate again. It just doesn't taste the same when drinking it late on a summers night.
So I'm taking it upon myself to officially declare Hot Chocolate Season: OPEN.


Enjoy drinking.

ha I had hot chocolate as my breakfast all of last week.

And my students union does a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshamallows that costs about £1 but is so so yummy!

But then again at uni I foolishly got hot chocolate out of a vending machine, but there was no chocolate, it was just hot! like hot milky sweet water with no chocolate, so disappointed.

ha, i've just made myself a nice hot chocolate to go to bed with!

Me and my housemate actually made hot chocolate tonight with the same brand and flavour.

Spookyyyyyy!

I've just made Ovaltine!!!!
I drink hot chocolate all year round (I'm always freezing).
You can't beat a winter night with a hot chocolate and blanket though.

you need hobnobs and a film with a blanket on the sofa or hot chocolate with hobnobs in the bath <3 nom. =]

haha
i hope it was hot hot chocolate? :P
not not so hot hot chocolate? :P

I know those words are english yet i can't understand that sentence. :blink: It makes my head hurt. :tongue2:

Heh heh excellent, but can I just ask, while I'm here have they started selling eggnog in Starbucks yet?! They seem to do them every year around xmas time but I don't know how early on they start.
They're my favourite drink of all time; don't care how much they cost..:-)

Some stores have xmas decorations up already. And I've seen Xmas related commercials on TV and they're all winter related things. I wouldn't put it past starbucks to have it on their menu already.

I've seen chocolate bars with snow on their wrappers. >.<

I love Orange hot chocolates by Options. It's like a Terrys chocolate orange.. but in hot liquid form. ;]]

Mmmm, hot chocolate. =D
I don't have any hot chocolate. Sad times.

I love hot chocolate so it doesn't matter that its spring right now but thank you *takes one*

lol i drink that exact hot choc all year round! They do little sachets in different flavors y'know! x

yeah i know. but that flavours my favourite. :)

Cup of hot chocolate whilst you're meant to be working.

Can't beat it.

I shall be buying hot chocolate today, My favourite is the mint chocolate options.

*shakes head disaprovingly* :-P

That was just.... bad! lol

:-) ThankYou.

I've not yet embraced the coming winter with quite the same zeal. Yesterday I bought a milkshake (go figure) but I have found myself being drawn to the hot chocolate asisle in Tesco....I think the time is nigh!

Some of the hot chocolates I've seen in Tesco's are like £6 and similar prices, mmm. I spent out on one a few years ago, but I actually a bit dissapointed. Maybe I didn't add enough sugar =/
Better to leave it to cafes in my case lol unless it's one of the sachet jobs like the options in the picture [a lot of sachets in a jar, instant type, you get my drift..]

you dont put sugar in hot chocolate do you?
i must try the orange hot chocolate.

umm.. does eggnog taste of egg? sounds awful to me whatever it tastes like!

^ I've never ever put sugar in my hot chocolates.... far too sweet already lol. Though i do know how to make mine all creamy (i use milk, not the water stuff).

Orange hot chocolate sounds interesting.... i want to try now! :-D

1st Question - depends how bitter it is in the first place. (i thought this was self explanatory lol but there you go)

2nd Question - no dear, it doesn't taste of egg.

*restrains my despair of some people*

i don't feel patronised or annoyed at all.

hot chocolate right it actually has to taste sweet. don't taste sweet i am very disappointed. I love starbucks hot chocolate. its perrrfectttt!!!!!

Virgin trains need added sugar

mm hot choclate. I tend to drink it all year round but yes its yummy.
I love snuggling up with a hot choclate, choclate and a blanket.

nom nom nom.

i love hot chocolate.
at college when it was cold we used to go buy a hot chocolate and a chomp for dunkage.
sometimes we'd dunk fudge bars, they're not as gooey and dunkable but chops sold out well fast ='[

Yay hot chocolate season :D

Love it, I had my first hot chocolate last week, cause my house is FREEZING! But even better than that, I have white hot chocolate, that you make really milky......love it!

well.. it was.. i dont know, it made sence in my head >.<
WHAT?!
tsk! i was quite proud of myself *grins*

haha macy's has their entire store decorated for christmas already =\ it's not even halloween! lol.

I hate your username, Not_So_*asks people to insert random letter cos i'm lazy*_Chocolate is terribel to type in when i want to PM you! Hence why i never send you messages :-P

And, it also messes up the size of the page >.<

*ends personal rant*

:O

^ Donkey of Doom! :-P

that's my other account :P
need something new, and awesome

yay for hot chocolate

i have been drinking Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate, it's well expensive but i've had it for about 9months. thing is, i just can't seem to get the hang of making it.

I have a cup (or a few) of hot chocolate every night of the year.
Yay.
:|

it's not that hard is it :P
i just put milk in, stick it in microwave for 2 minuites or whatever i feel like doing at the time, then get it out, put the recommended amout in and voila!
or i guess you could get fancy with whipped cream etc :P

I love the way Caz (Not_So_Get-a-username-i-can-be-bothered-to-type-please) keeps posting on a thread relating to hot choc ;]

that looks sooooooo delicious. I'm having a cup of hot choc right now because of that pic.

I'vce decided to hate you because now i'll have to go to the canteen and buy a hot choc for a rediculous price because ireallywantone after that picture *drools*

yes! yes it really is! it doesn't seem to woooooork for me *sobs*. i end up with bits of chocolate lumps in. my friend makes amazing hot chocolate, really sweet with a little tiny bit of cream on top, and cinnamon on top of that <3

Hot chocolate = yummy, especially with cream!

there's a cafe near me that does a wonderful hot chocolate in large mug, with three inches of cream on top and your choice of cinnamon or chocolate power sprinkled on top with a complimentary biscotti for dipping. all for £1.50
In the winter, it's the best thing.

It's basically like the picture Black Rose put up, only more cream and the glass is twice as tall.

O.O
That sounds like the best thing ever.
Where do you live? =P
I love that Costa do a mint hot choccy in the winter. It's so tasty =D

Rotherham, near Sheffield. Probably a little too far for you to travel just for a hot chocolate.

Hmm, that's true.
I'll just have to settle with my own hot choccy.
