If you're a hot chocolate fan, you've probably had your eye on the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser for a while. You'll be pleased to know that Black Friday offers are lingering for a final few days, offering you a last chance to save big on this little dose of decadence...
Whether you're cosying up in front of the telly, or looking for something to warm you up after you've been outside in the cold, hot chocolate is the perfect winter treat. And right now, this luxurious hot chocolate maker is discounted for the final few days in the run up to Christmas.
Amazon currently has an amazing deal on the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser kit. This includes the Velvetiser hot chocolate machine, plus two ceramic cups and 10 servings of Hotel Chocolat - all for less than the Velvetiser alone usually sells for! Priced at £86.95 (Was £109.95) this is an ideal Christmas gift for any hot chocolate lover.
The Hotel Chocolat website also offers a decent saving. The Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser can be snapped up with a 15% discount, saving £14.99 over its regular retail price. All you need to do is become a member of the brand's VIP.ME reward scheme (which is FREE to sign up to) and you'll be able to access this exclusive offer.
Need any more convincing? Our resident Velvetiser expert Rebecca Lancaster said "With the nights getting darker and the temperatures dropping, the Velvetiser has become my favourite go-to treat. In just 2.5 minutes I can have a mug of creamy, rich hot chocolate that tastes like drinking pure melted chocolate and feels like a hug!
"The sachets make it easy to use, as well as giving lots of flavour options (mint chocolate is a particular favourite!) but I have also found that it works with powdered hot chocolate. If you can get the Velvetiser on a Black Friday deal I'd jump at it - you won't regret it during the cold winter months."

Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser FAQs
How does the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser work?
If you're not sure how the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser works, it's really simple. All it takes is a push of a button, your chosen liquid and a serving of your favourite Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate flakes. Hotel Chocolat offers these instructions for using the Velvetiser:
• First, give the coil on the whisk a little spin to make sure it is free-moving.
• Place this in the Velvetiser (always before anything else).
• Add your chosen liquid and pour the contents of your Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate or latte single serve on top.
• Close the lid, press the button and the perfect drink will be ready in just two and a half minutes.
Unlike other hot chocolates you make at home, the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser doesn't use power, just pure, grated high-quality chocolate to give the texture of your drink that silky-smooth finish that's not too thick and not too watery.
What sort of milk can you use with the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser?
It's entirely up to you what milk you use with the Velvetiser. You can use any dairy or plant-based milk, as long as it's smooth and non-textured. You can even use water if you'd prefer, purely on its own or mixed in with milk. It's all down to your personal taste.
Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday better for deals?
While Black Friday is the biggest sale event for most brands and retailers, a big chunk of those discounts stay live well until Cyber Monday. There would be brand new discounts and deals offered for Cyber Monday specifically as well, so it would be worth keeping an eye on our deal pages are we would be updating them with the latest deals on products that you would love.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday takes place on the 29th of November this year, across the world. But, in previous years, we've seen most sales begin a week or so before - and some even at the beginning of November (right through to Christmas). Keep an eye on this page if you are waiting for the best price. Everyone from Hotel Chocolat to Robert Dyas may be offering some kind of discount across their wide range of goodies.
