During the winter months it's nice to warm up with a tasty hot drink - and since I'm not a huge fan of coffee or tea, I like to try different chocolate drinks and Options Belgain Chocolate is one of my favourites so far. ~Packaging~ The jar of Options that I recently purchased looks similar to the one in the picture above, except that the container I have narrows in at the middle, which gives the impression that it's slim - and at only 37 calories per drink this is certainly a popular choice. The jar holds 220g of chocolate powder and has printed on it the nutrition information and ingrediants, directions on how to make the drink, and ...  Read the complete review

After trying many different brands of hot chocolate over the years, i have never been a fan of it. In asda a few weeks ago though, i was buying some cocoa to make chocolate brownies and noticed they had some new sachets of options hot chocolate on offer so decided to try them. These were on offer for 5 for £1 so at 20p each they were a bargain. I picked up 2 mint flavour, 2 belgium chocolate and a white chocolate flavour. I have not tried the white chocolate flavour myself, but my boyfriend said it was lovely when he first started to drink it but then it was too sickly too drink after half a mug. I tried the mint flavour and it was ...  Read the complete review

Of late I haven't felt at all well and I don't know about you but when I feel down I try to find ways of being kind to myself! Me, well I went out and bought new bedding, some new PJ's and a lovely snuggly fleecy blanket and things generally to try cheer myself up with! Something I really wanted was some hot chocolate too! I was in Sainsbury's the other day and like I say I'm off colour and I was trying to look at the variety of hot chocolates on offer but was losing patience and in the end I saw this flavour is sachets and thought well I'll get 4 of these to try and in sachet form so at least I know the measurement in advance etc so no messing about and they ...  Read the complete review

I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of hot chocolate - it's great at this time of year when the weather is cold, and you can warm yourself up by making a cup of the lovely (and often unhealthy) drink. I have always bought Cadbury Instant Hot Chocolate in the past, as I love it's creamy taste, and the fact that it isn't too rich. However, I recently purchased a jar of 'Options Belgian Choc' as I had heard many people say how delicious it is. Therefore, this review is a direct comparison between the two products. Economy - - - - - - Costing £2.74 from Tesco for the 220g container, Options is more expensive than the Cadbury variety, ...  Read the complete review

I found a few Options hot chocolate sachets in the cupboard recently, one of which was the 'Belgian Choc' which I had bought ages ago, but never got round to trying. This is an Instant hot chocolate mix from the Options range, which contains many flavours. Being, simply Belgian chocolate flavour, this makes it the plainest of the flavours in the range. Really, I think it is just supposed to be normal hot chocolate, but with a fancy name to make it sound more interesting! The hot chocolate comes either in a jar, or an individual sachet containing enough for one mug of hot chocolate, and it's the sachet that I have. Making the hot chocolate ...  Read the complete review
