Our basic hot chocolate recipe works out at 44 cents a mug. The aforementioned Coles product (which instructs you to add 15g powder to 180mL milk) and the Aldi and Woolworths products (which both suggest adding 15g powder to 200mL milk) make mugs for 35 cents and 37 cents respectively. The product itself costs $2.46 per 100g, but it makes a mug of hot choccy for just 29 cents. We crunched the numbers and found that when prepared according to the pack instructions – in this case adding 200mL hot water to an 11.5g sachet of powder – Jarrah Hot Choc works out to be the best value. Unit prices, however, don't take into consideration the price of the milk that some products instruct you to add, which of course bumps up the cost of the end product. If your household goes through hot chocolate rapidly, or you're on a tight budget, then a product that's good value for money is a priority.Ĭomparing unit prices on the supermarket shelves reveals that Aldi's Dairy Fine Drinking Chocolate, Coles Hot Chocolate and Woolworths Instant Drinking Chocolate Powder (all tins of loose powder) are the cheapest products in our review, all costing $0.75 per 100g. Woolworths Instant Drinking Chocolate Powder.Coles Hot Chocolate (sachets), for example, is 53.5% sugar (it contains non-nutritive sweeteners aspartame and acesulphame potassium but also glucose syrup and sugar), whereas Lindt Milk Chocolate Hot Chocolate Flakes is 43% sugar, and non-nutritive sweetener free. While products with non-nutritive sweetener ingredients are usually lower in sugars, that's not always the case.
#HOT CHOCOLATE PLUS#
They both contain non-nutritive sweeteners – erythritol (additive number 968) and steviol glycosides (additive 960, more commonly known as Stevia) – which add a sweet taste without the kilojoules associated with added sugars.Īll up, non-nutritive sweeteners erythritol and Stevia plus acesulphame potassium (950), aspartame (951) and sucralose (955) are used – either alone or two or three in combination – in seven of the 19 products we looked at. If you're trying to avoid or reduce added sugars in your diet (but want to treat yourself to a guilt-free hot chocolate) Avalanche Sugar Free is the lowest sugar (and kilojoule) product we reviewed, closely followed by Avalanche 99% Sugar Free Drinking Chocolate (sachets), with just 0.1g and 5g sugars per 100g respectively.
