Chocomel Hot Chocolate is the heritage brand's latest innovation crafted with taste and convenience in mind to help consumers easily enjoy a comforting treat this winter. The product features a ready-mixed recipe that only needs to be poured into your choice of mug and warmed up without having to do any mixing. This will come as welcome news to consumers who might struggle with getting the mix ratios right with conventional powdered products, while also providing a consistent experience that prioritizes professional quality.
Marketing Manager (Drinks Platform) Gabriella Sudall spoke on the Chocomel Hot Chocolate saying, "Our consumer research revealed that the biggest frustration with traditional hot chocolate was the hassle of preparation, leading to an inconsistent taste and texture. We’ve listened to those concerns and developed a product that not only solves those pain points but makes the process easier and more convenient than ever. We’re keen to replicate the success we’ve seen across Europe, where Chocomel is synonymous with quality hot chocolate in cafés."
