Assuming it exists.
If so, is it any good?

Whittards sells it, I personally don't like it. I expected it to taste like melted Milky Bar and it doesn't, it tastes like vanilla-y milk. Acquired taste I reckon.

Options, with extra double cream, gorgeous.

I saw Irna Garten make it on barefoot contessa, not the packet muck, but she actually melted White choc, vanilla seeds and cream together. White choc doesn't taste of anything much, so all it does is act as a sweetener more than anything. It looked quite nice and I think it would have been better still if she had crushed a cardamon pod into aswell.

Sounds nice, I'll certainly be looking out for it next time I go shopping. I've already tried Options mint hot chocolate and I think it elevated the experience. But I prefer ordinary Hot Chocolate to the mint variety.

Best hot white chocolate I had was at Hotel Mitra in Ptuj. Yum Yum



Options hot white choc is OK but I like it double the strength. They make it too weak.
Years ago boots made a version but it tasted minging like washing powder.



Salep is also really nice if you have a sweet tooth.

Barefoot Contessa... cooking with cream and butter and eggs and more cream and butter and some chocolate and some more cream and oh my goodness even more cream and just a bit more butter to make it nice and a spoonful of cream to serve.

But what's the best brand of instant hot chocolate (white or otherwise)? I think that options is a bit "skinny".

There's still a shop open on Princes Street in Edinburgh (or there was the last time I was there), but you can still order online.

I think Highlights are a bit skinny too. I've never came across an instant brand - low fat or normal, that you make with hot water - that tastes like actual hot chocolate!

Whittards was going to go under but Ithink it was bought by someone and survived.

I remember being very disappointed with their white chocolate flavour as by and large, I liked virtually every other flavour on offer. The taste took subtle to a new level!

You can get white hot chocolate in Starbucks at Christmas time, I get whipped cream on mine and then sprinkle it with nutmeg... grogeous!

I had it once, nice but rather sweet and sickly. Much prefer the normal one. Will have to try the starbucks one this christmas.

We got a gift basket containing some mix at work.

It tasted ok BUT looked foul. Somebody compared it to washing up liquid, well, that's what it looked like. Almost clear. Really strange experience.

I am not a fan even although I like white chocolate! I found it a bit too sickly.

Just buy white chocolate and melt it in hot milk.
