With the winter season comes the irresistible allure of a hot cup of chocolate. Whether it's the classic comforting richness or exciting new variations, some brands take the humble hot chocolate to an entirely new level. This season, two exceptional names—Melt House and Colocal—are offering indulgent hot chocolate experiences that promise to warm you up in the most delicious way.
Colocal
Colocal, a unique artisanal chocolate brand, is redefining the chocolate indulgence experience. Located in Dhan Mill Compound, New Delhi, Colocal is home to India’s first live 'Bean to Bar' chocolate factory. The brand specializes in crafting single-origin chocolates made with cacao from southern India. Colocal is known for its attention to detail in every step of the process, from roasting to conching, ensuring that the final product reflects the rich flavors of locally grown beans.
Their hot chocolate offerings include a variety of flavors such as the creamy 55% chocolate, the bold 85%, and creative blends like Banana Hot Chocolate, Caramel Hot Chocolate, and the indulgent Colocal Campfire Chocolate. Each cup is a testament to the brand’s dedication to quality, offering a warm, artisanal experience for true chocolate lovers.

Melt House
Melt House has been serving up rich, velvety hot chocolates that have become a beloved winter favorite. What sets their hot chocolate apart is the carefully crafted combination of Idukki single-estate 70% dark chocolate, Belgian milk chocolate, and alkalized Dutch cocoa powder. The drink is further enriched with flavors of coffee, chicory, malt, salt, and a blend of two sugars, offering a rich, complex taste with subtle notes of molasses. The addition of spices like cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg brings an aromatic warmth to each sip. To top it off, the classic version is finished with a dollop of whipped vanilla cream.
For those seeking something extra, Melt House also offers special variants like Campfire Hot Chocolate, topped with torched homemade marshmallow fluff, and Bailey’s Hot Chocolate, which features a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream for a boozy twist. Each drink is served in vintage-style glass Irish coffee mugs, adding an elegant touch to the experience.
Every winter, Melt House’s hot chocolate becomes a cherished tradition, inviting patrons to indulge in its comforting and luxurious flavors time and time again.
