You knew Penningtons created beautiful coffee and tantalizing teas, but did you know we are sumptuous hot chocolate makers too?! Welcome to hot chocolate heaven.

We make a variety of different hot chocolate options and are sure to we have something to please everyone. Our most popular hot chocolate is our Penningtons hot chocolate powder. Our powder blend makes a rich, sweet and moreish cup of hot chocolate quickly and easily. We recommend using hot milk for a creamy and decadent drink, but our powdered hot chocolate works well with hot water too. Choose from mini tubs for sampling to 1kg tubs which are perfect for keeping the office happy. Our gorgeous hot chocolate mix is available in hot chocolate sachets too, providing you with exactly the right amount of hot chocolate powder for a comforting cup on the go.

For those of you chocolate lovers that are religious about your hot chocolate, we make hot chocolate flakes too which are ideal for using with your hot chocolate Velvetiser. Made with rich dark chocolate, these opulent chocolate flakes for hot chocolate conjure up a chocolatey, creamy, velvety cup of hot chocolate when heated gently with milk that is truly magnificent. Once you’ve tried flaked hot chocolate, we’re pretty confident there’s no going back!

In addition to hot chocolate flakes and hot chocolate powder, we stock a luxurious white hot chocolate made by Mortimer. This sweet and creamy white hot chocolate has buttery vanilla notes and is made with the finest cocoa butter. When a little pick-me-up is needed, this is a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers.

And why keep all our delicious hot chocolate products to yourself? We make some lovely hot chocolate gift sets, including our Hug in a Mug which includes a hot chocolate powder sachet, marshmallows and Maltesers, or our luxury hampers which include not only our hot chocolate but a taste of our coffees, teas and other hand-picked local Lake District treats.

We would always recommend that the best hot chocolate recipes should be made with milk over water, and don’t forget the cream and marshmallows too. Plant-based milks work beautifully too – we especially love coconut milk for an exotic twist to your hot chocolate experience.
