Horlicks Banoffee Pie (Horlicks Site) By @Cinabar

Does this count as a hot chocolate? It is a hot milky malty drink, so I think it doesn’t count? There is no chocolate flavour in it, but there is Banoffee. So in terms of me not buying any more hot chocolate, I think I’ve succeeded, if only on a technicality. 

A while back I purchased Cherry Bakewell Horlicks in Home Bargains, and I was taken aback about the curious flavour. The back of the tub mentioned that there was also Banoffee available, and I then had a hunt for that variety with no luck. I checked a lot of places and did a search online where the only stockist was Horlicks themselves, so I did an order, just to give it a try. 

This Horlicks Banoffee Pie edition is made with hot water and mixed up easily, with no lumps. I gave it a try, and the malty taste works so nice with the sweet banana. It gives the drink a wholesome banana milkshake taste but is hot. I absolutely loved it; it was sweet and comforting and fun too. I may have felt a bit desperate on my search, but I’m so glad the drink is as nice as it is, especially as I bought two tubs when I did the order. Heaven help me. I do have a hot drink problem; I need to stop ordering, but it is the season.
