  • you could use a drinking chocolate but they tend to have sugar in them and do not give as an intense chocolate flavour it depends what you want to use it for in your baking

  • i know my mum always says that you shouldnt really use the drinking choc because of the sugar etc..
    guess i'll have to bite the bullet and buy the cadburys.. i spose once its bought its bought isnt it..
  • it is the large one as well so should last you quite a long time

    i only ever buy the cadbury one.

    it the best i have found.

    Morrisons do do a cheper one it comes in a box. but imo it tasted a bit bitter. however no one in family ever complained if i used it. it was just me that didn't like it
  • well ive just checked the wilkos site and they dont sell it

    looks like im going for the cadburys... ive not made anything for ages so i want to get the ingrediants right atleast!!!!
