    I found making the Asda hot chocolate with milk instead of water was so much better. The taste actually came out and it was a big improvement!

      Yeah I agree with you on this point, the ASDA Just Essentials Hot Chocolate looks like it is just Cocoa Powder and Sugar with little or no Milk Powder added, which could explain things. As you say, make with milk and cook in the microwave.

    Hi Gareth, I too prefer the Cadbury hot chocolate drink. How I make mine is first after measuring out the required amount in a mug, I then add just enough milk to mix the powder to a smooth but thickish consistency, then I add boiling water and stir in. It just seems to make the chocolate drink a bit creamier....that's just my preference anyway.

    your scale has a mini scales for measuring small amounts more accurately. It goes to 200g, the main one is up to 10kg. The software on these scales and take several seconds to register, which is why it was changing, and the 10kg one is just less sensitive. I would not presume the 2 glasses to be the same weight either, even though they look identical they are probably different by a few grams, I find that with ones I used before.
    The glass would have been too heavy for the 200g scale, so you would use a paper or plastic cup, or a plastic lid off something.

      @@jamesee5053 Me too 60s - loved it when mum bought/ordered an extra gold top and we saw it on the doorstep! We use Grahams which sadly at the co-op seems to be out of stock - replaced instead by a myriad of wheat, oat, soya and nut type milks - shame!

    With the sweetners that they add I find them too sweet. I prefer the tried and true traditional method if I want a good hot chocolate drink. Easy and quick if you heat the milk in the microwave.

    One thing I noticed about essential range is there usually bland no flavouring, but it is what is basic essential if you need and can't afford you've no choice, I'm quite a simple guy so some of there stuff is fine for me.

    Ha ha you with the scales.. You know the little pad on the right of your scales is a more accurate for small amount scale. Plus you could have just weighed it in the cups you are making the hot chocolate in. Im also guessing as a teaspoon is a measurement, approximately 3 heaped spoons per cup would have worked. Love the video mate. Keep up the great post's

    All instant hot chocs are sweet, definitely no extra sweetening needed with these.

    Hot choc needs to be good , Cadbury’s is bound to be more expensive but with something like a drink I’d go for the quality but make it last ❤

    Why didn't you just weigh the powder into the cup ? :)

  • @macrook1961

    Why did you not just put each individual cup on the scales, then add the same weight of water. ?

    Choceur Instant Hot Chocolate Drink 400g from Aldi [£1.09] is delicious...add some milk and in my case I have about 6 teaspoons of chocolate! 😁

    Twinings Swiss hot chocolate (make with milk) is my favourite. Haven't tried the Lindt version yet.
    I'm guessing it's the coconut fat that makes the Essentials one weird... Lyons is the same.
    Having tried a few makes recently, Morrisons Savers is nicer than their standard range one, and Fry's is also pretty good for the price.
    Also, I use it to make milkshakes as it's half the price of Aldi's equivalent to Nesquik.
    Those weighing shenanigans, Gaz 😂😂🤔🙄😅
