The initial 'hit' When I opened the jar, put a spoon of the powder in my mug and added the hot water (all that you need to do), I got an instant hit of refreshing minty aroma hitting my taste buds, making my mouth water. Once it had cooled down enough for ...  Read the complete review

This gorgeous and fantastic drink is a Mint Chocolate flavoured hot chocolate drink. ~~ My Memories of this product ~~ I remember the first time I had a drink of this, when I opened the tub, I was instantly greeted by a cloud of minty chocolatey powder. Upon making this drink, I added mainly hot water and a few drops of milk for some extra creaminess. When I took a sip of this I was in seventh heaven, as I just melted with the refreshing taste of the mint mixed with the indulgent creaminess of the hot chocolate. Simply Fantastic! ~~~ The Scenarios ~~~ This drink is just right to curl up on the couch and relax watching a nice ...  Read the complete review

I was given a sachet of Mint Madness Options hot chocolate by my mate, she's just discovered it and told me it was the best low fat hot chocolate she's ever tasted. I disagree though because now I've drunk it I can say it's quite a nice hot chocolate but nothing special and nowhere near as good as the full fat mint hot chocolate I have at the coffee shop in town!

I thought it was quite a powdery tasting drink and the taste of chocolate ...  Read the complete review

Having tried every brand of diet hot chocolate that I have been lucky enough to come across, I can easily say that Options is my favourite. The Belgian Chocolate is so good that it took me quite a while to work my way around to some of the other flavours, but when I did I was not disappointed. All of the flavours that I have tried have been excellent, and that includes their Mint Madness. Mint Madness comes in individual serving sizes for about 30p each or else in a canister for a little over £3.00. The canister is a much better deal because it contains around 20 servings of hot chocolate for that price, making it half as much as the individual servings. ...  Read the complete review

I am always one to have cravings for something sweet or something chocolate but I always hate the thought of consuming a lot of calories to satisfy the cravings. When looking for a hot chocolate drink in the supermarket this one immediately caught my eye because the container clearly says there are only 34 calories per drink, which to put into perspective is roughly the same amount of calories as a cup of tea with semi skimmed milk. Options mint chocolate drink cost me £2.43 for 220g. I feel this is a reasonable price but I noticed that some of the regular hot chocolates were somewhat less than this item. However, I was willing to pay a little extra for the ...  Read the complete review
