Last year, we named Knoops as our favourite white hot chocolate, and, just for the record, we remain obsessed with that creamy, silky, vanilla-scented brew. A welcome convenience, especially considering these mixes contain more calories (190 per envelope) and sugar (32 grams) than most. Bear in mind that powdered hot chocolates tend to contain more sugar, because sugar rather than cocoa is often the main ingredient.

Hot on its heels, however, we also loved Islands 70 per cent hot chocolate buttons – a premium hot chocolate that will delight cocoa geeks with its distinct fruity profile.
