The Iced Chocolate Adventure
During our visit to Knoops in the summer, we decided to try their iced chocolate drinks. Though the percentage choices are fewer for the iced drinks, we still had the opportunity to experience their renowned customisability. Opting for the 34% milk chocolate option, we were excited to see how Knoops would deliver a cold and refreshing take on their signature hot chocolate.
A Sip of Quality
As someone who isn’t the biggest fan of hot chocolate or chocolate drinks, I approached the experience with an open mind. The first sip of the iced chocolate was a pleasant sensation. The quality of the chocolate was evident, and it was undoubtedly a cut above the average cocoa-infused beverages. The 34% milk chocolate option struck a perfect balance, not overpoweringly sweet, but still offering a delightful chocolatey taste. While we relished the iced chocolate on a warm summer’s day, it’s easy to imagine how Knoops’ hot chocolate delights could bring warmth and comfort during the colder months. The customisable options cater to all tastes, making it a versatile treat for any season.
Vegan Marshmallow – The Perfect Companion
To complement our iced chocolate, we couldn’t resist trying their vegan marshmallow. Fluffy and delicious, it added a delightful touch to the drink and showcased Knoops’ dedication to catering to a variety of dietary preferences.
Knoops has undoubtedly mastered the art of hot chocolate, crafting a delightful experience for chocolate lovers and newcomers alike. Their innovative customisability, ranging from white to dark chocolate options, ensures that every visit is a unique adventure in chocolate appreciation. Whether you’re a hot chocolate connoisseur or simply looking to indulge in a high-quality chocolate drink, Knoops is a must-visit destination that delivers on its promise of exceptional hot chocolate.
So, the next time you find yourself in London or near one of Knoops’ branches, treat yourself to a memorable hot chocolate experience that warms not only your soul but also your heart.
