Poppets Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb (Morrisons Daily) By @Cinabar

Poppets Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb

Near us, there’s a Morrisons Daily within walking distance, one of those smaller branches of the supermarket. I won’t pretend it’s particularly good for fresh produce, items like eggs and fruit are usually poorly stocked. However, when it comes to snacks, they’re definitely on the ball. I’m not sure what that says about the people in my town, but I’m with them on prioritising snacks!

I popped in, hoping to find one last loaf of bread tucked away, but no luck. As I resigned myself to the fact I’d need to visit a larger store, something on a promotional shelf caught my eye: a new Poppets Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb. It wasn’t bread, but at least I’d found something worth buying.

At home, I heated a jug of milk in the microwave, it’s the quickest method, and placed the hot chocolate bomb in a mug. The key is ensuring the milk is hot enough to melt the chocolate without boiling over.

I poured the milk over the bomb and watched as the chocolate began to dissolve.

Then, just as it was softening, it suddenly burst, releasing a cascade of marshmallows. Brilliant! I’ll never get tired of this little spectacle.

I gave the drink a try, and the flavour was delightful. There was a perfect touch of salt paired with toffee, and the milk chocolate base made it a wonderfully sweet and indulgent drink. The marshmallows were a lovely addition, they looked great and added extra sweetness.

I was so pleased with the salted caramel version that I was glad I’d picked up the mint version too. The Poppets Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb is sweet, soothing, and perfect for a cold night.

I may still be out of bread, but at least I’ve discovered a fantastic new hot chocolate treat.
