    Lol not IN the kettle, but made with the hot water you get from the kettle.

    Also I’m talking hot cocoa, not hot chocolate. Two different things, one is with water, one is with milk, at least in my casually defined book.

      I only know both in the form of milky chocolate.

      And some are intended to be stirred into water because it contains powdered milk.

        Do you know the brand Swiss Miss? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0610/5464/8564/products/image_86ef1f17-7772-48b2-a5a5-248a650eff8d.jpg?v=1677099961

        Very cheap. Very nostalgic. Very shelf stable hahaha

        Edit: also this stuff https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YpaO6M8QL._SL1500_.jpg

        Insanely nostalgic for long roadtrips where you’d stop at a rest stop in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and stretch, and there’d be people with hot water, styrofoam cups, and packets of tea, coffee, cocoa, and cider for free. Core memory, right there.

          Not really.
          But understandable.

          I had some Lindt hot choco packets and at first also used hot water.
          But the result was so thin I quickly switched to milk (as it should be).
          Probably missed se more milk powder.

            Oooo, I haven’t had the Lindt ones. Nicest packet ones I’ve had are the Ghirardelli ones that come in different flavors. Those are always delicious. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled at the store for the Lindt ones though.

            What’s the best hot chocolate/cocoa you’ve ever had?

              Best commercial to come by: Lindt Gianduja hot chocolate
              Actually best chocolate: Really hard to say. I had some brand when I visited Brussels vor a concert.
              But we also have a chocolate fair not too far from me in Tübingen, Germany. I think that’s called ChocolArt.
