Drinking chocolate was consumed as early as the 18th century as a medicinal drink, inspiring us to pack our drinking chocolate flakes in apothecary style jars with our secret recipe printed at the back. Our mallow hot chocolate, blending flakes of dark and white chocolate with tiny gelatine-free marshmallows is a full bodied I-want-you-now hot chocolate that is not for the faint hearted.

"If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavoured chocolate... and marvels will be performed." - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

We acquiesce: few ailments in life cannot be soothed by our comforting caramel drinking chocolate, especially when paired with our salted caramel biscuits.
