Lesley Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 erm..........what a silly question - but they don't take long to make I'm not taking part in the 'Buying nothing new' thing......... but I am trying to only buy what we need.......... ....and I really needed this - and it doesn't count if it is birthday money.....

Egluntyne Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I prefer the one you have bought. Is there any hot chocolate left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'll just pop a cake in so I can come bearing gifts to go with the hot choc...mmm yummy! Unfortunately I have gone back on my WW diet (so restricted scrummy hot choc & cakes!) and am not buying anything new....I spent my birthday money on a subscription to Home Farmer & some books in WHSmiths at the weekend, so not frittered in any way! Not that I'm suggesting that the hot choc maker if a frittery buy - not by any stretch of the imagination !!! I like yours or the red one if anyone is thinking of sending one my way.....

Lesley Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 As long as there's no 'squashed flies' in the cake Sha....... I think this could even make those sachets of low-cal chocolate taste good (I think they taste like dirt! ) I spent ages looking for them in a plain colour - just cream or purple perhaps.........no luck. No doubt they will be out in plain colours next year as I always seem to do that. I'm looking for plain coloured mugs in a nice flared shape if anyone knows where i can get any? I have some that shape with cartoons on but want plain colour. Sorry.....I need some plain colour ones I have some like this - but with a slightly flared top edge I'm getting there...... This shape..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Charbonnel and Walker chocolate is totally divine- especially with a dash of Cointreau Thank goodness I still have a Dashed Awful Kitchen in the Dashed Awful house, or I'd have one of those like a shot!

..lay a little egg for me Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The trouble with the Charbonnel & Walker hot chocolate is that it is all too easy to eat straight from the tin with a teaspoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This has given me a wonderful idea. After banging on and on at all my friends to a) support local farmers and free range meat and b) buy FairTrade I was inundated with FairTrade chocolate for my birthday this month. I shall make hot choccy with it Adding Cointreau sounds like heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 can they be used for coffee to or is there something different in the plunger? I really, really need the red one with the heart but for coffee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The plunger is slightly different but I think it could be used for coffee - but you couldn't make frothy chocolate with a coffee one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Shame I get a thumping head after hot chocolate - mind you that could be the quantity I drank yesterday !

fowlbird Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The plunger is slightly different but I think it could be used for coffee - but you couldn't make frothy chocolate with a coffee one. I wouldn't like frothy chocolate anyway... got a mug of it by me now - just drinking choc with added boiling water and Tesco own brand shortcakes instead of Walker's - must remember to put the actual brand name on the shopping list next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Enjoy your Charbonnel et Walker hot chocolate. I'm just off to make a low fat instant one and pretend it's yummy.

Lesley Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 The Charbonnel et Walker choc. didn't come with it - I don't know why it is in the photo...... I use Clipper Instant or Clipper Hot Choc. with Cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
