Make thick and creamy hot chocolate at home! The Lastella hot chocolate making kit includes three different flavours, decorations and preparation instructions in English. It is an easy activity to enjoy together with a child on a cold evening, during the Christmas season, for a movie night or at the weekend.
The kit contains milk chocolate, banana and Ruby chocolate flavoured hot chocolate mixes. The Ruby chocolate mix makes a pink hot chocolate, making it the most visually distinctive of the three drinks.
Each sachet makes one drink, so the kit gives you three separate hot chocolate making sessions.
Why choose the hot chocolate making kit?
- 3 different flavours: milk chocolate, banana and pink Ruby chocolate.
- Choose the thickness yourself: use the same mix to make thick hot chocolate or a lighter cocoa-style drink.
- Easy to prepare: add the mix to milk and heat while stirring continuously.
- Decorate it yourself: finish the drink with the decorating mix included in the kit.
- Three preparation sessions: each flavour comes in its own 30 g sachet.
- Suitable for ages 5+: children can take part in measuring, stirring and decorating the drink.
What is included in the kit?
- 1 × 30 g milk chocolate flavoured hot chocolate mix;
- 1 × 30 g banana flavoured hot chocolate mix;
- 1 × 30 g pink Ruby chocolate flavoured hot chocolate mix;
- 3 × 10 g hot chocolate decorating mixes;

How thick can you make the hot chocolate?
You can choose the thickness simply by changing the amount of milk:
- 125 ml milk – thick and creamy hot chocolate;
- 200 ml milk – a slightly lighter hot chocolate;
- 300 ml milk – a cocoa-style drink.
This means you can enjoy the same mix in different ways – for example, make one serving into a thick chocolate dessert and another into a larger cup of cocoa-style hot chocolate.
How do you make hot chocolate?
- Pour 125, 200 or 300 ml of milk into a small saucepan, depending on how thick you want the drink.
- Add one 30 g sachet of hot chocolate mix.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the drink thickens.
- Pour the hot chocolate into a cup.
- Add the decorating mix included in the kit and enjoy while warm.
Preparation takes just a few minutes.

Who is the hot chocolate making kit for?
The hot chocolate making kit is suitable for children who enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and making their own treats. Because the kit contains three separately packed flavours, the activity can also be enjoyed over several different days.
It is a great choice for:
- a Christmas gift for a child;
- an Advent or Christmas activity;
- a winter movie night;
- a birthday gift;
- an activity to enjoy together after spending time outdoors;
- a Christmas stocking surprise – divide the three flavours over three different days;
- a corporate Christmas gift for employees’ children.
Companies can explore larger-order options and quantity-based pricing on our Christmas gifts for employees’ children page.
Three flavours – three little surprises
Because all three hot chocolate flavours are packed separately, you do not have to make them all at once. During the Christmas season, you can divide the kit over three different Christmas stocking mornings – milk chocolate on one day, banana on the next and pink Ruby hot chocolate on the third. This turns one kit into three separate little surprises and activities.
The kit is also a lovely option for a family with three children: each child can choose one flavour, prepare it with help from an adult and decorate their own drink. If there are one or two children in the family, simply spread the three flavours over different days.

Recommended age: 5+
The kit is suitable for children from 5 years. Preschool children should prepare the hot chocolate together with an adult. School-aged children can complete much of the activity themselves, but adult supervision is required because of the hot hob, saucepan and drink.
Warnings
⚠️ A hob is used when preparing the hot chocolate. The hot drink, mixture, saucepan and hob may cause burns.
⚠️ Children should prepare the drink under adult supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hot chocolate is a chocolate drink with a history that goes back to Central America, where cacao-based drinks were prepared long before chocolate reached Europe. Chocolate drinks became popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, and different regional versions developed over time.
In many countries, people are more familiar with a thinner cocoa drink, while Italian cioccolata calda, for example, is much thicker, creamier and richer. It can have an almost dessert-like texture and is often served in a smaller cup.
With the Lastella kit, you can choose which style you prefer: 125 ml of milk makes a very thick and creamy hot chocolate, 200 ml gives you a creamy but easily drinkable hot chocolate, and 300 ml makes a lighter cocoa-style drink.
One 30 g sachet of hot chocolate mix is intended for one preparation session, but you can choose both the amount and thickness of the finished drink.
125 ml milk – very thick and creamy hot chocolate that can be enjoyed as a small dessert and even eaten with a spoon.
200 ml milk – creamy hot chocolate that is easy to drink.
300 ml milk – a lighter cocoa-style drink, giving you one large cup or, for example, two smaller portions.
The kit contains three separate 30 g sachets, so you can prepare hot chocolate on three different occasions.
It depends on the thickness of the drink. The decorating mix stays on the surface more easily when the hot chocolate is thick or medium-thick.
When you prepare the drink with 300 ml of milk, it has a thinner, more cocoa-like consistency. In this case, heavier decorations may sink, while lighter decorations such as marshmallows can remain on the surface.
If you want the decorations to stand out especially well, choose a thicker hot chocolate.
Ruby chocolate is best known for its pink colour and slightly fruity, tangy flavour. Its taste is different from both milk and white chocolate, with a fresher and more fruit-like character.
The Ruby chocolate flavoured mix in the Lastella kit makes a pink hot chocolate, which also makes it the most visually distinctive of the three flavours.
