When I tried the Rhubarb White Hot Chocolate from Whittard recently I also saw this Crème Brûlée White variety. There were large tubs but I decided to go for a small sachet incase I didn't like it. I'm glad I did because this was a very sweet combination indeed, although it was very nice. I wouldn't want a whole tub but as a one-off it made for a tasty change - it has a subtle burnt toffee flavour which compliments the milkiness of the white chocolate very well. It tasted pretty much how you'd expect Crème Brûlée in hot chocolate form to. Overall, a tasty hot chocolate with a unique flavour, although for me it's just a little too sweet. If you like white chocolate I would definitely recommend giving it a try. As well as this flavour Whittard do Strawberry and Lemon Meringue white hot chocolates. I really want to try them at some point and hope Whittard also do them in sachets! Check out the full range on their website here: http://www.whittard.co.uk/hot_c...

They also had a Strawberry white chocolate flavour as well as Lemon Meringue, which I didn't go for as this sounded like the weirdest of the lot and I just had to know - how does rhubarb and white chocolate taste together?! Turns out the combination works very well! The sour tanginess of the rhubarb was subtle and somehow went really well with the creaminess of the white chocolate, although it was very sweet. It was very delicious though, and had a lovely smooth, comforting taste. As you can see in the pic above I added some marshmallows on top of the hot chocolate, which went with it perfectly! Overall, a successful and unique hot chocolate flavour that actually works. This variety has won a "Great Taste Gold 2011" award, which apparently is quite a big d...
