I'm trying to track down the new caramel flavoured one that is advertised on TV, but I haven't seen it anywhere. It's not mentioned on their website either.

I've seen the new fancy flavoured ones (higher in calories) in larger sachets, but I don't think it's part of that range.

Has anyone seen them? I've looked in Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc. Are they advertising something that they don't actually make?!

While I'm on the subject, they've withdrawn the white hot chocolate one in the large tubs!

I have a bit of a hot chocolate addiction

is the Options range nice? Thinking of getting a few sachets when I go shopping.

I like the sound of the orange, vanilla, mint, and white ones.

Too small and I expected too much from it. Now sticking to highlights or Galaxy

I used to love Options hot chocolate. I made myself sick of them though as I used to drink them every day. My favourites were orange and mint Quite in the mood for one now!

Could you used these with just milk and make a flavoured milk or do you have to have them hot?

I bought the Caramel flavour from Morrisons a few weeks ago, so they might do them in a larger store. Hope you are able to find them!

They are designed to be made with hot water so probably wouldn't mix well into cold milk.

I forgot I made this thread!

I've since found them. Caramel wasn't as exciting as I thought, lol.

You can make them in to a cold drink. Put the powder in to a mug, add about a teaspoon of boiling water to dissolve, mix well, them fill up the cup with cold milk. Et voila, Options milkshake.

My family like these. Locally we can only get Belgian Chocolate, Choc & Mint & Choc & Orange in large jars. However, in sachets there are lovely flavours like Hazelnut, white chocolate, choc & banana, carribbean coconut etc. All of which are lovely!

I must say i find all these instant hot chocs horrible, powdery and watery. if i do want a hot choc then i always make the proper stuff which is essentially just chocolate melted into milk.

I love Options. I think it's the best of the low fat hot chocs because it still tastes creamy. I only use 1 heaped teaspoon though. I always find the instructions of any drink tell you to use more than you need.

Don't really like the different flavours though, just stick to belgian choc.

I have to admit I sometimes indulge in a sickeningly sweet dose of nutella mixed with hot milk.

With added sugar
