Made a pigs ear of this! ASDA JUST ESSENTIALS Vs Cadbury INSTANT HOT CHOCOLATE Comparison

Food Comparison review. ASDA JUST ESSENTIALS. Cadbury hot chocolate.

I found making the Asda hot chocolate with milk instead of water was so much better. The taste actually came out and it was a big improvement!

[Mattmatt]

I'd go for Cadbury personally. The big 500g tub is £2 atm. The cheap one is ok for using in baking. either way though I'd also use hot milk not water.

The weighing sequence was so funny Gazzer. But getting back to the hot chocolate? Asda has failed miserably here. I would gladly pay the extra for the Cadbury's any day 😊

[janereid]

I always add a bit of milk to the powder to make a paste to froth it up then add water

[maureenwright]

Maybe if there’s a next time weigh the powdered drink directly in the cup, less complicated. 😀👍🌸

Pissed ourselves laughing at you trying to weigh it!

your scale has a mini scales for measuring small amounts more accurately. It goes to 200g, the main one is up to 10kg. The software on these scales and take several seconds to register, which is why it was changing, and the 10kg one is just less sensitive. I would not presume the 2 glasses to be the same weight either, even though they look identical they are probably different by a few grams, I find that with ones I used before.

The glass would have been too heavy for the 200g scale, so you would use a paper or plastic cup, or a plastic lid off something.

The army ration packs have some good hot chocolate packs in them you can buy loads off amazon

When making hot chocolate I add 1 cup milk and 1 of water in a pan add the required amount of powdered chocolate and heat through, stirring all the time. I use this method to make cocoa too. Delicious!

[Marigolded]

The Asda just essentials hot choc is one of my favourites, compares extremely well against Cadbury's. I make it in a mug with hot water and add a splash of cold whole milk and it's brill.

Ya think showing the ingredients isn't that much of a deal but its probably the most important part of your videos. Ya think seeing only (Milk) the only allergen that its ok for most of us to have but a woman nearly died having milk in a meal a few weeks ago that she was told there wasn't any Milk in.
Keep up the good work man. Good luck in your break in the booze. Ya will enjoy a few then at Christmas 🍻🎄

[davidvickers]

Thanks for that Gareth, its good to know.

Laughing out loud at the measuring. Reminded me of John Noakes doing a cookery demonstration. Instant hot chocolate is only worth having if it’s out of the machine at the swimming pool. Make proper cocoa with hot milk if you’re at home and you don’t have to have it so sweet.

[Donaldcox]

The Asda chocolate looked like uncle Alberts gravy 😂

[sheilam]

I've never managed to find a hot chocolate that I really like but the best I have tried is Fry's 👍

[chaddamp]

Hello Gareth, will you do a comparison on opening packing relating to food products, especially with those on "re-sealable " products.The pensioners, me included, can find it difficult to open/re-seal sometimes.

[billijay]

Thought you were going to give up and have a cup of tea instead. Haven't had hot chocolate for ages. Cheers Gareth
