B&M's £20 tool creates 'silky smooth' hot drinks like Hotel Chocolat 'every time'

The bargain buy is back ahead of Christmas and is a great alternative to the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser

Nothing beats a steaming cup of hot chocolate to warm up as the winter chill takes hold. But, with takeaway prices around £4.50 per serving, it's not the cheapest way to warm up.

High-street favourites like Costa or Starbucks might be tempting, but the expensive habit can quickly add up. But B&M has come to the rescue for those looking to indulge without breaking the bank.

Compared to the £100 Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser, B&M offers a budget-friendly alternative. Hidden among the aisles, you'll find the Hot Chocolate and Coffee Milk Frother, now only £20 after being cut down from £25.

The packaging promises: "Simply add dairy or plant-based milk and your choice of hot chocolate. Makes silky smooth hot chocolate every time with four different settings."

Customers are already praising this "easy to clean" gadget, available in two colours. They note its stylish design and cost-effectiveness. The Mirror reports that it's also being called the "perfect" Christmas present for any hot drink enthusiast.

This frother is part of the Heat & Eat range, found exclusively at B&M, where shoppers can explore other intriguing devices. The collection includes a £10 waffle maker, a £20 chocolate fountain, a £45 beer dispenser, and even a £20 sausage roll maker – a potential game-changer for Greggs regulars considering a switch to homemade treats.

TikTok user Sheree (@shereewasher31) put a series of photos from a recent visit to the discount store. She displayed all the unique options that could serve as perfect "Christmas gift ideas" for those hard-to-shop-for individuals in your life.

In other news, a B&M shopper has "saved a fortune" thanks to a £29 outfit she bought from the discount store's thermal range. The practical 'body-warming' combination enabled her to cut down on gas and electricity costs ahead of the chilly winter weather.
