Harry's Hot Chocolate Making Kit — everything you need for a proper cup of hot chocolate, in one box. Harry's hot chocolate making kit brings together a 300g tin of our hot chocolate powder, a pack of giant marshmallows and a Harry's mug, all hand-filled in our barn in the Cheshire countryside. It's made with real chocolate, cocoa butter and all, not just cocoa powder stirred through sugar.
Pick your own flavour when you order: the original 44%, something darker, Wondrous White, Marvellously Minty, Outrageously Orangey, or the vegan option if that's what you're after. However you take it, this hot chocolate making kit turns a few minutes at the kettle into a proper café-style drink, no machine required.
It's a thoughtful gift for pretty much anyone who likes hot chocolate: birthdays, Christmas, a new job, a thank you, or a corporate gift for a team that deserves better than a standard hamper. It arrives packaged as a gift box, ready to give, and works just as well as a treat for yourself on a cold afternoon.
Harry's hot chocolate making kit makes the perfect Christmas hot chocolate gift set, ready to wrap or give exactly as it comes.
What's in the box
1 x 300g tin of Harry's hot chocolate, in the flavour you choose (11 month shelf life)
1 x pack of giant marshmallows (8 week shelf life)
1 x Harry's hot chocolate mug (lifetime shelf life*) *please do not put me in the microwave or dishwasher
Makes approximately 12-15 cups, depending on how strong you like it.
Why it makes a great Christmas gift
A hot chocolate gift set is one of those presents that suits almost anyone on your list, from a partner who loves a lazy Sunday morning to a colleague you don't know quite well enough for anything more personal. Everything needed for a proper cup is already in the tin, so there's no fuss for whoever's giving it and nothing to assemble for whoever's opening it on Christmas morning.
How to make it
Step by step
Heat 250ml of milk on the hob, in the microwave, or with a kettle and a saucepan, until it's hot but not boiling.
Add 25g of hot chocolate powder from the tin and stir until it's fully dissolved.
Pour into your Harry's mug.
Top with the giant marshmallows and give them a minute to soften into the top before you drink.
You can use slightly less milk than a packet mix calls for. It makes for a thicker, richer cup, closer to what you'd get from a café than an instant sachet. If you want to go further, a swirl of cream before the marshmallows go on works nicely, or a pinch of cinnamon if that's your kind of thing.
Hot chocolate kit or hot chocolate maker?
A hot chocolate making kit like this one isn't the same thing as a hot chocolate maker. A maker is an electric appliance, usually £60 and up, that heats and froths the milk for you. This kit doesn't include a machine: you'll need a pan, a kettle or a microwave to heat your milk, and then the tin, marshmallows and mug in the box do the rest. If you already own a hot chocolate maker, the tin works in that just as well as it does with a pan on the hob. If you're deciding between the two, a kit like this one is the simpler and cheaper way to get a good cup at home without more equipment taking up space on the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make hot chocolate with this kit?
Heat your milk, then stir in a heaped scoop of Harry's hot chocolate until it's fully dissolved. Pour into your Harry's mug and top with the giant marshmallows from the kit. Use slightly less milk than you would for an instant sachet, for a thicker, richer cup.
How many cups does the kit make?
12-15 cups.
Is this a hot chocolate maker or a hot chocolate kit?
It's a kit, not an appliance. There's no machine involved: you'll need a pan, kettle or microwave to heat your milk, then the tin, marshmallows and mug in the box do the rest. If you already have a hot chocolate maker at home, the tin works in that too.
Can I choose the flavour?
Yes. Pick any flavour from Harry's hot chocolate range when you order, including the vegan option.
What's the last order date for Christmas delivery?
18th of December. Orders placed after this date may not arrive in time for the 25th, so it's worth ordering a little early if the kit is going straight under the tree.
