Advantages: A delicious treat; made with real chocolate Disadvantages: Too many spices maybe? The price!
! On inspection, the chocolate itself is comprised of large shavings of milk and dark chocolate. It does indeed look very appealing, more so than the standard chocolate powder I'm used to which is generally a bland milk chocolate colour of no real texture.
When you open the plastic bag, you're met with a definite aroma of cinnamon. Although this is wonderfully seasonal and accurately called the warming winter spice blend, it does overpower any hint of the other spices which may be included. I've never found any of my usual hot chocolates to have a particular smell of the chocolate itself and this is no different in that respect.
Needless to say, this isn't suitable for people with allergies of either milk or soya, and the tube warns you it may contain nut traces too.
