Last weekend we were at home, a tad bored and in need of a treat to enjoy while lounging on the couch and doing absolutely nothing, a luxury we seek these days. Browsing 965flowers website which is currently my source for gift and flower giving, I decided to take a look at Chocolate Bar’s newest desserts when I saw they had a new item: a hot chocolate kit!
The hot chocolate kit is basically a flask of hot chocolate, either dark or milk chocolate, that comes with chocolate chip cookies, chocolate bar’s marshmallows, and plenty of chocolate flakes in white, black, and milk chocolate variety plus little plastic cups complete with their own plastic lids. You can either choose a 1/2 litre flask with 6 cookies or a 1 litre flask with 12 cookies and they can deliver it on the very same day you order it. How brilliant is that?
Of course I wasted no time ordering me two flasks: one 1/2 litre of milk chocolate and 1/2 litre of dark chocolate. It didn’t take long for the hot chocolate to arrive and the moment they did the chocolate feast had begun! I love it when things become in kits and packages, they are a treat on their own and my hot chocolate adventure on the go was all tidy and wrapped up, which also makes it perfect for both picnics or to bring along to a non-formal gathering.
The flasks, embossed with Chocolate Bar’s logo, are of a very good quality and they kept the hot chocolate steaming hot for a very long time! The cookies? Believe it or not the only cookies I had at chocolate bar were the ones that come with the fondue but those big full sized freshly baked ones tasted different! They were soft, chewy, and extremely dangerous!
The marshmallows! I personally am not a fan of marshmallows but I do like to sprinkle a few pieces on top of my hot chocolate. Those chocolate bar made marshmallows were really soft and quite different from the plastic-like ones you grab at the confectionery aisle in your Supermarket! The moment they touched the surface of the they were gone.
Dunking the cookies in the steaming hot chocolate and melting marshmallows with chocolate flake was the highlight of my relaxed lazy weekend! I’m ashamed to say that none of the cookies made it until Sunday. Ashamed, but not sorry.
The good thing about the little cups is that you get to pour a little amount of hot chocolate at a time and experiment with toppings and sprinkles. By the time the flasks were empty, we realised we had skipped lunch all together! A one litre hot chocolate flask is more than enough for a gathering of five or six girls or a dozen little children.
I had so much fun with the hot chocolate kit from The chocolate bar and I’ve added it to my list of comfort food to enjoy on lazy weekends spent uselessly sprawled on the couch in the company of my blanket and my TV remote. I ordered my hot chocolate kit from 965flowers website but I’m not sure if you can order it by calling chocolate bar directly or not? By the way, though I’m a dark chocolate fan I thought the milk chocolate was much tastier than the dark chocolate hot chocolate but you should order both and try! I think Chocolate bar should make an at home fondue kit next!
Have a happy weekend!
