    Don't know about the no sugar thing but San Churros hot choc is beautiful! It's very rich though. Where are you? Not sure if they're everywhere yet?

    A local deli here in sleepy Brissie is my source of chocolatey love. They do the Fraus sachets, which are a nice easy one. They come in a billion different flavours, but it's hard to depart from the classic choc.
    They also sell a Mexican hot chocolate, I can't remember the brand, as I've chucked away the packaging. It comes in blocks, and you boil it up with chilli and spices, traditional style. It's soooooo yummy.

    I second San Churro though. We have some friends up here that get us to bring some back every time we go down to Melbs.

    I have a gorgeous little retro milk pan that Ms Nelle gave me for my birthday that I use to make hot chocolate, I make it using whatever choc I have in the house and milk. I also add cinnamon for a mexican hot choc and if it's just for me I'll add a dash of cayenne as well.

    As for types of chocolate, if you want REAL good hot chocolate go for a bitter sweet dark like 70% you'll be able to adjust the amount you need and won't have to worry about the sweetness.

    Also don't forget good valrhona chocolate.

    Have you tried the Lindt one from the supermarket? It's just chocolate flakes you stir into hot milk. Soooo good.

    Chocoholics Anonymous do a yummy hot choc mix. Only downfall was it took aaaagessss for delivery, but that's prolly just cause Perth is soooo far away lol

    I second San Churros as well.

    I bought the chocoholics anonymous ones and I still haven't finished it. I think it tastes terrible!
