"Why We Rate It: For its perfect balance between milk and dark To risk sounding like a Nigella Lawson M&S advert, this hot chocolate is intensely chocolatey. It’s not one for the casual drinker, but if you like the sound of a chocolate IV drip, you’ll like this. It’s smooth, thick, and richer than the inhabitants of the Notting Hill townhouses surrounding Melt Chocolates' shop. It’s made using 35% milk or 70% dark chocolate buttons which are melted into the milk. We like the milk one: on the venn diagram of chocolate it’s perfectly balanced, falling somewhere between sweet and rich. Ask for a small cup if you want to avoid an almighty sugar comedown later, and take it outside to savour on the charming courtyard table. " - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
