STARBUCKS Signature Chocolate 42% Cocoa Powder tin

I am a massive hot chocolate drinker and have tried lots of different brands. This Starbucks has to be one of the best. It is quite a big tin it comes in and is reusable which is great. It's a very fine powder compared to other brands possibly a bit too fine as it was easy to loose some while scooping. I used 3 to 4 teaspoons in hot milk and this was perfect. It has a really juice flavour. Not too sweet or bitter.

Over the years I have tried a number of hot chocolates - this was didn't disappoint e, I always prefer the luxury of milk based drinks rather than the 'instant water' ones but have often found the powder recommendation can be a bit heavy this had a good ratio of powder to milk with little left in the bottom of the mug.

This is one of the best home made hot chocs. It mixed in well and was lovely and sweet. It went perfectly with some marshmallows and cream. Felt like I'd gone into the store and bought one.

Not usually a massive Starbucks fan however this chocolate powder is rich, creamy and tastes like quality. Hot chocolates you have to mix with milk can be a bit of a faff but saying that, this opens the drink up to fellow dairy free drinkers as it does not contain milk and you can use whatever milk you like. I prefer coconut! Would definitely buy this in store.

This product was great. Personally what i loved was how creaming it was despite not having any milk in it, meaning i have a delicious option for vegans etc. The flavor was rich but not overpowering and the fine texture made it easy to use and lefy no lumps in the drink.

This product was lovely to drink and definitely resembled the Starbucks hot chocolate that you can buy from their coffee shops. It has a slight bitter taste to it and I would probably prefer if the taste was slightly sweeter and milkier.

This is a very luxury powdered hot chocolate. As someone who prefers to mix hot chocolate with water, I did get through a little more than if I'd been using milk, but still great.

I was reluctant at first with it being so rich in coco, but my gosh! Starbucks has really pulled this out of the bag!! Stunningly presented and the most delicious chocolaty in flavor. perfect for a winters evening. It wasn’t too heavy or to sickly.

A very good hot chocolate easy to prepare with real cocoa taste. It’s quite intense and has a quite fluid velvety texture.

Overall, I would say that this product tastes very nice, it's not too sweet so that is a huge bonus if you want a chocotaley flavout without an assault of sweetness. It does the signature hot chocolate that is served in the Starbucks stores justice and tastes quite similar toy what you would buy from the shop. My only critical comment would be that it was a bit too grainy for my liking, you could feel it while you were drinking it that it didnt seem like all of the powder had dissolved. I tried two methods to make it , the classic method of heating up the milk in the microwave and stiring in the powder, which left a more grainy texture. The other method and by far the better one was putting the milk and powder into a milk frother and heating/stiring that way. It seemed to have a much better consistancy to it and it was smoother. I would most likely buy this in a shop.

This hot chocolate tasted very similar to the Starbucks one. The only thing I was missing was the whipped cream! It comes in a robust tin and there is a lot of hot chocolate in there. I would 100% recommend this to any hot chocolate lover!

I have had my fair share of hot chocolate and this is one if the best! It is a lovely smooth luxurious chocolate without being overly sweet. I love the tin and the amount you get! Will be repurchasing.

I really enjoyed this product. The high cocoa content means it wasn't too sweet but just right. I used heaped teaspoons for measure and whole milk as a medium and the results were rich, creamy and delightful. Better than most of the hot chocolates available, without knowing the RRP.

This hot chocolate is very rich & very chocolatey. It completely satisfies your chocolate craving. The thing I liked most about it was how smooth and light the powder was, not like any other chocolate powder, it created no lumps when stirring it into the milk and dissolved very quickly. Very tasty and my new go to hot chocolate!

I love a good hot choccie so was excited to get this through. The packaging was very good, luxe feeling, you could tell you had a premium product. I myself am not the biggest fan of very dark chocolate so I had this with a lot of milk and some sugar too so be careful to adjust to your tastes - don't give up too fast!
