As smooth as our classic dark hot chocolate but with an enticing dark edge, our Dark 85% Hot Chocolate is simply irresistible - the perfect choice for anyone who likes to keep things classic.

Made from finely-grated single-origin dark chocolate, it’s packed full of pure cacao goodness, giving you no need to worry about any hidden nasties or artificial flavours. Prepare to be absorbed by this intense wonder. But fear not, it’s still divinely creamy and comforting thanks to its secret ingredient - gentle Ghanian cacao. Make with your choice of milk; we recommend oat or dairy for extra creaminess, or try hazelnut milk for a delicate nutty undertone.

However, the benefits of this dark hot chocolate don’t stop there. As well as the pleasure of getting to drink it, you’ll also get to enjoy all the health-boosting properties of dark chocolate - each cup will be brimming with antioxidants.

Dark hot chocolate is also known for its mood-boosting properties, so this treat is perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up or as a cup of joy on dreary days. It also makes a great accompaniment to breakfast pastries and a perfect post-dinner treat. Who needs dessert when you have hot chocolate that’s this good?

To make it even better, its pure ingredients make it suitable for vegans. Yes that’s right, it’s dairy-free so nobody has to miss out on this deliciously dark experience. For silky-smooth results, pair with the Velvetiser - our in-home hot chocolate machine - but these hot chocolate flakes can also be made on the hob.
