Cadbury Highlights Instant Hot Chocolate

Sometimes I wake up really early in the morning and can't get back to sleep. Eventually I give up trying and I get up to do some work on the computer. When this situation occurs, the drink I really fancy is hot chocolate for some reason. Of course I don't want all the sugar of the standard version so I go for a mug of Cadburys Highlights. Hot chocolate is a comfort food for me. When I was a little girl and we had snow my dad and I would go out and clear the paths (how much help I was is debatable but I was with my dad and that was all that mattered!) and when we came back inside my mom would make us mugs of hot chocolate. Anyway as usual I am ...  Read the complete review

I like hot chocolate but it has to be best. None of that thin watery, sweet stuff for me, so when I saw Cadbury Highlights Instant Chocolate on offer at our local shop, I decided to buy a jar. I paid £2.49 for a 220g jar and felt quite pleased with myself. This is a low calorie hot chocolate and 4 teaspoons of the powder give you 40 calories. This is supposed to be enough for a mug of hot chocolate but it would have to be a pretty small mug if you really want to taste the chocolate. At 20g or four teaspoons of powder per serving, you get 11 mugs of hot chocolate from a jar of this powder. That works out at more than 20p per cup. I suppose that ...  Read the complete review

Yes, the evenings are colder, and it's that time of year when a cup of good old hot choc before bed warms the cockles. I have had a few over the past couple of weeks, and this is one of them. Cadbury have a strong reputation for all things chocolate, and this is a drink that boasts their standard of hot choc as well as being low in calories. A 500g tub of it should set you back around £2, give or take depending on where you buy it from. It is also available in individual 'sample' sachets. Each drink requires 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls of the fine powder inside, and then just add hot water to your mug or cup. I was surprised to see that I didn't have to ...  Read the complete review

Being a very health conscious lady, I try and limit my calorie and fat consumption to a low level. I am trying to lose a bit more weight (already lost 3st!) and therefore these lowcalorie options are the best for me. Also, having lost the weight, going and consuming my weight in chocolate wouldn't be that good either! Bye bye waist-line... So, I usually drink 'options' hochocolate, because its only 28p per sachet, but thought I would try the Cadbury Highlights as I love cadbury 's creamy loveliness that is their chocolate. So, having bought the product, I am currently sitting here, sipping a cup of it, thinking, so... what a fun thing to review! On that note... here ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago I would pig out on chocolate without thinking twice about it and, annoyingly, without putting on a pound. These days however, possibly due to a slower metabolism or probably lack of exercise I can no longer indulge myself in my favourite food and therefore am constantly looking for alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth. I first came across this product at a friends house on a freezing day when she made a round of highlights to warm us all up, and these days I buy sachets of the drink every time I go shopping. What makes highlights different from the original cadbury's hot ...  Read the complete review
