Highlights etc. all have milk powder in it, and I've found every chocolate powder here has as well. I'd rather not resort to the old 'cocoa powder and sugar' method, so my only alternative at the moment is Nestle's syrup (again, no dairy...but not a patch on Cadbury's!).

Zehrs may stock it as they tend to stock a lot of Brit-centricâ„¢ foodstuffs such as Irn-bru and to our surprise - bread sauce :D

Cooking + Madmac = Bit like throwing water on a chip pan fire. :D

My wife used to be lactose intolerant, but found it was really related to the pre/post natal vitamins she had been taking for the last few years. She stopped taking them, now pizza is back on the menu.
Thanks for that I've just been out and bought some! I shall turn some of it into mince pies! I shall keep an eye out for hot choc. ;)
We still buy it now, partly so there is demand and they keep making it. Dairy intolerance was no fun to live with, you have my sympathy.

Ive a feeling the "no name" brand hot chocolate was dairy free, but I could be wrong. The no name coffee whitener is dairy free, which made it a life saver for cups of tea and the like.
