The Clipper Instant Hot Chocolate (1kg) offers a variety of interesting features. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide if it’s a good fit for you:
Pros:
- Large Size (1kg): Perfect for frequent hot chocolate drinkers or large families, or even for office settings.
- Fairtrade: Supports sustainable cocoa farming practices.
- Instant: Just add hot water for quick and easy preparation.
- Eco-Conscious: The description suggests the packaging or production might be environmentally friendly.
- Luxury Drinking Chocolate Description: Might indicate a richer and more flavorful hot chocolate experience compared to some instant mixes.
- Multi-Use: Can be used for hot chocolate or cold milkshakes, offering versatility.
Cons:
- Limited Information: Details about sugar content, calorie count, specific taste profile (e.g., very sweet, less sweet, dark chocolate), or other ingredients beyond “hot chocolate powder” might be unavailable.
- Not Pre-Portioned: Requires measuring with tablespoons, which can be messy.
- “Luxury” Might Be Subjective: The description mentions “luxury” but doesn’t specify the cocoa content or what makes it luxurious.
Overall, the Clipper Instant Hot Chocolate could be a good option for you if:
- You’re looking for a convenient and potentially good-value option for hot chocolate at home or in the office.
- You don’t mind pre-measuring and have space to store a large quantity.
- You appreciate Fairtrade practices and eco-conscious products.
- You enjoy a richer hot chocolate flavor (although confirmation is needed).
- You like the versatility of using it for hot chocolate or cold milkshakes.
However, if you:
- Prefer a specific taste profile or a guaranteed luxurious experience, you might want to look for reviews or hot chocolate mixes with a higher cocoa content.
- Need to know the exact ingredients or avoid certain allergens, you’ll need to search for more information about the product.
- Prefer pre-portioned options, this might not be ideal.
Here are some additional things to consider:
- Price: Search online to find the price of the 1kg Clipper Instant Hot Chocolate to see if the bulk discount makes it a good value for you.
- Ingredients: Search for the Clipper website or online retailers for a full list of ingredients, including sugar content, cocoa content, and any allergens.
- Reviews: Customer reviews can provide insights into the taste, sweetness level, and how well it mixes. Search for reviews mentioning “luxury” or specific taste aspects.
I hope this helps you decide whether the convenience, potentially good value, Fairtrade and eco-conscious aspects, multi-use potential, and rich flavor description (to be confirmed) of Clipper Instant Hot Chocolate outweigh the need for specific details about ingredients or pre-portioned options!
⭐️Vine Reviewer since 2020 –
I write truthful reviews for Amazon Vine for free products. However I have bought this product, as many others. However my main aim even on chocolate, needs to be reviewed with depth and truth.
So I have never used this clipper drinking chocolate, seen it advertised on Amazon a lot, now bought some, plus because I like it, have it on subscribe and save, as many other products.
I do find some drinking chocolate is compromised, too sweet, or not sweet at all, velvety like Cadburys for example.
This hot chocolate is a 1K tub, strange really as this tub doesn’t really look that big as round, as opposed height.
Really as it stands today 1380 reviews does speak volumes, this has to be nice right? Yep true.
A normal mug, I like to spoon, three/ four teaspoons, then I ALWAYS add cool milk, mix around the edges, then add hot water. Makes a more creamy taste, and although you should just pour water and stir, I always found I am missing the milky taste. Sure it’s down to preference. I do add milk to instant horlicks too. In fact with horlicks that’s made with all milk, i role reverse, I mix so many spoons milk, then add water, tastes the same as normal. This chocolate no exception.
Currently £8.99 one off, S&S saves money either 5% or 15% depending on how many S&S shopping items you have currently running.
This chocolate is smooth, not too sweet, tastes natural if you know what I mean. I don’t have sugar anyway, but I feel you won’t need it.
I will agree drinking half an hour to an hour before bed, May aid your sleep, does me, especially if I have had a bath with my chocolate, no not bathing in chocolate, I mean drinking…
English cuisine
Does contain skimmed milk, and a few more ingredients, so please check if you have specialist diets
Fair trade is excellent, and I buy fair trade where I can, 1994 fair trade became the first company, clipper is the worlds largest buyer of tea supporting over 114,000 producers and families around the globe. Although this isn’t tea, fair trade is known for drinks, and delicious as well.
Chocolate is a big seller, and supporting the cause is very valuable.
This chocolate pretty sure you will love, I am fussy with mine up until now. Everyone’s palette is different.
I 200% recommend and glad I took the plunge, my only little wish is why it took me so long.
No allergens mentioned on the ingredients
A 1kg tub should last a fair while, and because I change up each night with Horlicks, May last 2 weeks, but I do drink it a lot.
So if you do not want a watery content, please remember to mix your scoops with milk, make the consistency not to tin, then mix with water. Strong is three scoops. I mention scoops why? Easy than teaspoons. I bout a scoop from town, Boyes, or Poundland, my scoop take equivalent to three teaspoons in one scoop. Saves a lot of time. I take my chocolate in a bag with scoop everywhere with me, hotels etc.
Lovely soft flavour, no lumps if mixed correctly.
Love Clipper
Please try at least once, you never know until you try, you may love it.
⭐️Thank you to the seller
⭐️I hope my review helps you

Galaxy: A bit waxy and gritty, doesn’t taste like Galaxy eating chocolate.
Aero: Not keen on the bubbly head you get on top on the drink and uses to much powder for a decent drink.
Cadbury’s: quite simply horrible. Too waxy, too sweet, doesn’t mix well, expensive and smells and tastes sickly.
Clipper: Mixes well, good price, lovely chocolate taste, nice texture and just the right amount of sweetness.
How I make it lis, 4 heaped teaspoons in a 16 ounce Grande mug – pour cold milk to just over the top of the powder – stir into a paste – pour hot water to fill mug – give it a really good stir making sure you get to the inside edge of and side of the mug with your spoon – wait for it to cool a little, stir again and then enjoy a really nice hot chocolate. It’s not often I give a product such high praise unless it really deserves it, but this Clipper hot chocolate drink really deserves it. I’ve not finished my first 1kg tin yet, but using 4 heaped teaspoons, I reckon I’ll get about 20 mugs or so out of it, maybe 25.
Pros: Beautiful taste, not waxy or oily, not gritty, not salty, mixes well and good value.
Cons: It’s very more’ish so cant see my 1kg tin lasting very long 😆.
I will definitely be buying this again and if you like your hot chockie, I do recommend you give it a try.
UPDATE: So I have finished my first tin and enjoyed every cup. The reason for the update is to inform you of how many mugs one tin makes. With 4 heaped teaspoons in a 16 ounce mug, I got 15 mug servings from the 1kg tin working out at 60p per mug.
So if you compare that to Aldi’s Choceur hot chocolate which is a really nice drink and 95p a jar, at 5 servings per jar it works out to about 20p per mug serving compared to Clippers 60p per serving. So I’ve dropped my rating to 4 stars now purely because I now don’t think it is as good value as I first thought. Hope you find this useful.
