Williams-Sonoma DIY Hot Chocolate

The classic Williams-Sonoma hot chocolate is a Must-Have for anyone out there who enjoys a great mug of hot chocolate. No not just hot chocolate. Chocolate in general. Why? Because for around $16 this DIY hot chocolate is literally made of  grated pieces of chocolate! It's so real that you could just take a spoonful and eat it right there. I can't say I didn't do that....Ahem. What? Right, the hot chocolate. It's so easy to make, just heat up 250ml of milk or water and stir in 5 tablespoons of the chocolate pieces. That is all you need to know to make this heavenly hot chocolate.

Gotta have some of that holiday cheer
with a snowman mug!


The ingredient of this
hot chocolate is literally grated
chocolate



















Overall rating: 8.5

Taste: 8.5
Quite rich - but it depends on what type of milk you use or if you even decide to use milk at all. Water works too.
(whole = richer, skim = less rich) I used 2% milk, so it had a pretty rich taste to it for me. 
Creamy, even though I didn't add whipped cream
Remember to drink it while it's hot! Otherwise it wouldn't be hot chocolate, it'll be more like...cold chocolate...

Presentation: 8
Really nice looking and detailed container 
Tight cap on the container, so it keeps the chocolate fresh until you use it (or snack on it).

Environment: 
The great thing about DIY is that you get to choose when you want it, where you want it, and how you want it. 
Want some whipped cream on there? Sure! 
Add a marshmallow? Be my guest!
Here's my tip: if I had all the ingredients, I would add a marshmallow, top it with whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon. Try it!
