Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate Review

We got quite excited when a box of Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate come to Frost HQ. It looks amazing first of all. It is very unique as the drinking chocolate is in the form of beads and, just in time for Christmas, a bauble filled with chocolate beads. You just put the beads into hot water or milk and stir. They come in award-winning 70% Ecuador, 67% Madagascan and Honey flavour, as well as Smooth Milk and Rich Dark. It is hard to pick a favourite. They all taste so delicious. I hope to get some of these in my Christmas stocking as this lot will definitely be finished by then. Amazing drinking chocolate.

HANS SLOANE DRINKING CHOCOLATEreview

Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate is the only hot chocolate product to be made from pure chocolate beads. Their company mission is to bring the taste of chocolate back to drinking chocolate and their beads melt perfectly in hot milk or water to create a richer chocolate drink. Named after the man who pioneered drinking chocolate in Europe in the seventeenth century, Hans Sloane continue to innovate the hot chocolate market.

Sir Hans Sloane was a chocolate pioneer. In the late 17th century, after tasting drinking chocolate in Jamaica he came up with the idea of combining it with milk to make it more palatable. He brought his recipe back to England, initially as a medicine, but it soon became the way people consumed hot chocolate in Europe.

Four centuries later, the name Hans Sloane continues to be synonymous with innovation. Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate is the only hot chocolate product to be made from pure chocolate beads. Their company mission is to bring the taste of chocolate back to drinking chocolate and their beads melt perfectly in hot milk or water to create a richer chocolate drink.
Available in 270g packs, Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate comes in five varieties, including the Great Taste Award-winning Smooth Milk, Rich Dark, Madagascar 67% and Ecuador 70%, as well as their unique Natural Honey. 1 kg catering packs for baristas and cafes are also available in Smooth Milk and Rich Dark.

This autumn sees the launch of the perfect stocking filler for Christmas – Hans Sloaneā€™s handmade single-serve Christmas Bauble and Cocoa Pod, each filled with chocolate beads. Simply shake to hear the chocolate beads inside before popping the bauble/pod into a cup and adding hot milk or water.

This Is How Real Men Take Selfies: Firefighter’s Selfie Goes Viral

Most selfies are, let’s be completely honest, a moment of vanity and posing. How many photos have you seen of people in bathrooms, taking a picture of themselves in the mirror with their phone? I am not immune to the occasional selfie myself, but it seems at the moment that selfie means any picture that has a person in it. The word ‘selfie’ has become as ubiquitous as the pictures themselves.

firefighter's selfie goes viral

Which is why this picture of a firefighter and his colleagues, completely exhausted after battling wildfires in California, is not only one of the best selfies of all time, but quite rightly went viral.

Firefighter Tim Bergon took this selfie to show his wife that he was okay. He had been battling the Cocos fire in San Marcos, San Diego County.

A restaurant in Escondido, Plan 9 Alehouse, then posted the picture to their Facebook page, captioned “Thank you!!!” The owners are friends with the Bergon and his family according to CBS 8. The picture has 36,549 likes and 4,624 shares so far.

Plan 9 Alehouse is also giving out free food to firefighters.

What do you think? Best selfie ever?
