Indulgence Without the Guilt – How Slopes Hot Chocolate Measures Up

At Slopes, nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire, we believe a cup of hot chocolate should be a moment of warmth, comfort and indulgence. But what if that indulgent moment didn’t have to come with a side of guilt?

We’re proud to say that a cup of Slopes Hot Chocolate contains just 157 kcal per serving—that’s from 4 generous teaspoons of our instant mix, made simply with hot water. No milk required, no hidden extras—just pure, chocolatey satisfaction in every sip.

But how does Slopes compare to some of the UK’s most popular instant hot chocolate brands? Let’s take a look:

Calories per cup (when made as directed):

• Slopes Hot Chocolate – 157 kcal (4 generous tsp, made with water)
• Cadbury Hot Chocolate – 154 kcal (made with semi-skimmed milk)
• Galaxy Instant Hot Chocolate – 213 kcal (made with hot milk)
• Green & Black’s Organic Hot Chocolate – 200+ kcal (when made with milk)
• Horlicks Chocolate – 187 kcal (with semi-skimmed milk)

It’s easy to assume that a truly indulgent hot chocolate needs milk to give it that comforting creaminess—but that’s where Slopes is a little different. Our blend is crafted to be rich and smooth with just hot water, so you get all the pleasure with fewer calories than you might expect.

We like to say Slopes is "not as naughty as you might think"—because it really isn’t. It’s a little moment of joy, a treat that fits effortlessly into your day without weighing you down.

And here's the twist: it turns out you can have solid chocolate blended into an instant mix—rich, real chocolate—in a cup with no more calories than the powdered brands that still need milk added. At Slopes, we’ve made it possible.

So whether you're unwinding after a brisk walk, or just pausing for a peaceful moment between meetings, Slopes delivers a delicious chocolate escape—no guilt necessary.
