Here’s a breakdown of Butlers Hot Chocolate (240g) to help you decide if it’s a good fit for you:
Pros:
- Rich and Full-Bodied: Described as rich and full-bodied, suggesting a more luxurious hot chocolate experience compared to some instant mixes.
- Made with Premium Chocolate: Butlers is known for its high-quality chocolates, potentially offering a better taste than budget brands.
- Suitable for Vegetarians: Caters to specific dietary needs.
- Convenient: Requires just adding hot milk for preparation.
- Individual Serving Packs (10): Provides portion control and avoids waste.
Cons:
- Smaller Quantity (240g): Might not be ideal for frequent hot chocolate drinkers or large families who would go through it quickly.
- Limited Information: Details about sugar content, calorie count, or other ingredients beyond “milk chocolate” might not be readily available online.
- Not Instant (Technically): Needs hot milk for preparation, although individual serving packs offer some convenience.
- Potentially Higher Price: Gourmet chocolate brand, so the price might be higher than some other options.
Overall, Butlers Hot Chocolate could be a good option for you if:
- You enjoy a richer and more flavorful hot chocolate experience.
- You appreciate the quality associated with the Butlers brand.
- You’re looking for a convenient option with individual serving packets.
- You’re a vegetarian or are buying for someone who is.
However, if you:
- Prefer a specific taste profile (e.g., very sweet, less sweet, dark chocolate), you might need to search for reviews mentioning sweetness level.
- Need to know the exact ingredients or have specific dietary restrictions beyond vegetarian, you’ll need to search for more information about the product.
- Need a large quantity or bulk option for frequent consumption, this might not be ideal.
- Are on a tight budget and looking for the most affordable option, there might be better choices.
Here are some additional things to consider:
- Price: Search online to find the price of the 240g box of Butlers Hot Chocolate to see if it fits your budget.
- Ingredients: Search for the product on the Butlers Chocolates website or other retailers for a full list of ingredients, including sugar content and any allergens.
- Reviews: Customer reviews can provide insights into the taste, sweetness level, and how well it mixes.
I hope this helps you decide whether the richer taste, convenience of individual serving packets, and potentially higher quality chocolate of Butlers Hot Chocolate outweigh the need for specific details about ingredients or a larger quantity!

A bit too sweet and not chocolatey enough.
I add 2 small pieces of dark chocolate to it when I melt it in milk (for 1 portion). Also, a pinch of salt helps to bring out the flavour.

As soon as I arrived home I just had to try one. Aww I was not disappointed and any guests that visited my home I just had to make them one. It turns out whenever they visit they ask for one of my delicious beverage drinks.
I then needed to purchase more, however this was only a Xmas line at Debenhams to my disappointed. So I searched on google and was delighted that I could purchase them from Amazon. I purchased them in boxes of 10, these were not individually wrapped however I still have the tin to store them in.
My elevenses is my treat to myself each day and I truly enjoy it!
Thank you Butlers and Amazon 🙂

You should be aware that they aren’t solid blocks of chocolate as you might expect, they have a thin chocolate outer case, inside is a mixture of cocoa, condensed milk, etc. A bit like a filled chocolate. Not solid chocolate.
They do taste every bit as good as real Belgian chocolate which was a surprise, they’re not sweeter or less chocolate so they do represent good value for money and an easy way to make a real hot chocolate.
I now fully recommend them and I’ve just bought 4 boxes to put my money where my mouth is. UPDATE: Nov 21, I’ve just bought more boxes of them. So easy and delicious, far better than powdered.
