I'm glad to see you tested a fair trade option in your drinking chocolate. To me, chocolate is a luxury food rather than an essential so I am prepared to pay more (and/or buy less) to ensure that my luxury habit did not cause anyone else to suffer!

Personally I choose Green & Blacks Organic cocoa, which is also fair trade certified.

The drinking chocolates in the test also tend to contain phenylalanine or aspartame which is widely documented for its negative health benefits. The testers also missed the Hersheys hot chocolate which leaves the others for dead and does not have the phenylalanine (available at New World Supermarket). Most of all I prefer my own concoction of Chocolate Rice Dream with mint dark chocolate melted into it and blended in the blender to smooth consistency then reheat again..yum! This of course minimizes any dairy content.

I wonder how the cost of these products compare with a homemade drink made from a block of dark chocolate.

We had the sugar content, what about the fat. I would like to see the comparison between the milk vs water drinks as someone who has to watch this. At the moment I drink Jarrah because of the low sugar.

where do you buy this, had a look at the woolworths online shop and couldn't find it

Milo actually originates from Australia!

Love to Vittorio one but generally make up our own. 2 parts icing sugar to 1 part cocoa. Cheapskate, I know.........

Milo isn't a drinking chocolate in the same way as the others are, so maybe that's why it wasn't there - apples with apples etc.
