Cappuccino

[Boto]

Does anyone know where you can buy the chocolate they sprinkle on the top of cappuccino? Thanks.

[excelsior-1]

is it not just ordinary hot-chocolate drink powder?

[EcclesCake]

What? It's not cocoa?

[Boto]

Well, I had some in the box with Kenco's instant cappuccino and it was sweeter and more granular than ordinary cocoa powder.

I just googled it and you can get it from Tesco & Thornton's.

>>>What? It's not cocoa?

Well it is, sort of. It's (heavily) sweetened cocoa.

Tesco sell their own 'Sprinkles' (99p for 50g). Their website is currently showing 'currently not available' but it might still be worth checking in their stores:

Otherwise, all of the big coffee shop chains (Costa, etc) sell ground coffee, etc, to take home, so it might be worth asking whether they also sell the sprinkles to go with it.

I thought it was just plain old cocoa.

[EcclesCake]

Cutting cocoa with sugar cheapens it considerably.......well there's a surprise!

[Old_Jim]

From the supermarket.
If you want the Italian variety, use cocoa
If you want the American variation, use drinking chocolate

[rockyracoon]

You're probably right there Jim.

[Boto]

Thanks very much for all your answers.

[jamesnan]

I use hot chocolate powder, no problem

Not a lot of help with the OP I know, but, a moan:

Nescafe cafe menu coffee sachets used to contain a tube of their chocco topping when they first launched, then after a bit I realised they'd quietly stopped putting it in as part of the deal :-(

[rockyracoon]

OG, I bet if you challenged them they'd say people didn't like it so they took it out.

[whistonian]

Your dead right there OG, they just stopped supplying it without a word.

PS, Nescafe Cappuccino is HALF PRICE in Morrisons this week,I stocked up yesterday.
