We’re spoilt for choice for hot chocolate haunts here in Brighton but when we’re not cosying up in a café corner, we love nothing more than re-creating an indulgent beverage at home.
Little else can soothe our souls more than a mug full to the brim with rich hot chocolate, bedecked with cream and marshmallows.
From dairy-free delights to salted caramel blends, fill your boots with these epic hot chocolates & all the trimmings.
Candy-canes
No hot choc is complete without a plethora of toppings to boot. If you fancy a festive twist, why not add some crushed candy-canes atop your hot choc? Traditional and tasty!
Squirty Cream
Hot chocolate and whipped cream go together like Beavis and Butt-Head. You know it makes sense, pile it up.
Mini Marshmallows
Melt some mini marshmallows into your hot cocoa brew for a wonderfully nostalgic cuppa. Dust with cocoa powder and enjoy!
Honeycomb Pieces
Sweet-tooth fans, try crumbling some honeycomb pieces over your cream for a crunchy toffee caramel topping.
Baileys Irish Cream
A creamy and frothy shot of Baileys in your hot chocolate provides the perfect night cap. Boozy and delicious!

Clipper Hot Chocolate
Seriously velvety hot chocolate with a conscience – Clipper products are made with responsibly-sourced, pure natural ingredients. Ideal for a spot of evening indulgence in front of a cosy film.
Cartwright & Butler – Orange Drinking Chocolate
Will these bitesize balls even make it into a mug with hot water before they fall into our mouths? Probably not.
A hot chocolate with a festive twist. Premium sweet orange oil mixed with dark chocolate in one of the signature Cartwright & Butler kilner-style jars – it would make for a very good gift indeed, if you can bear to give it away.
