About the Hot Chocolate
Burger King Hot Chocolate costs £2.89 and carries 144 kcal. It is the only hot drink on the menu with no coffee in it, which makes it the default order for anyone in the group who does not drink coffee and does not want something cold.
The calorie count sits between the Americano and the Latte, and nearly all of it is sugar and milk rather than anything else. Treat it as a small dessert served in a cup: it does the job a sweet course would, at a fraction of what the ice cream range costs.
It is also the winter order in a chain built around cold drinks. On a menu where most of the drinks list is chilled and carbonated, this and the coffee range are the only things that suit a cold day, and this is the one children will actually finish.

How to Make a Hot Chocolate at Home
A proper hot chocolate is melted chocolate in milk rather than powder stirred into hot water. It takes about the same time and tastes nothing alike.
Ingredients
Method
0 of 4 stepsTips
- Chocolate around 60 percent cocoa is the sweet spot. Anything darker needs more sugar to balance.
- Warm the cups first. Cold china pulls the heat out within a minute.
- The pinch of salt is not optional. It is what stops it tasting flat.
Variations
- Use oat milk and dairy free chocolate for a vegan version.
- Add a shot of espresso for a mocha.
- Stir in a little cinnamon or a drop of peppermint extract.
On its own, or beside something from the breakfast menu on a cold morning.
