We may have reached the point where Easter Eggs are lining the grocery shelves, but it looks like winter is set to stick around for a bit longer yet. When it's this cold, there's nothing better than snuggling up in the warm with a hot chocolate as temperatures drop.
It looks like the budget supermarket Aldi is ahead of the game as it's started stocking Twix and Mars Bar hot chocolate pods for extra-indulgent, treat-yourself moments.
Priced at £2.99 for a pack of eight chocolate pods, the drinks will be the perfect way to beat the blues on those wintery nights.

The Mars Bar hot chocolate drinks are described as the perfect fusion of chocolate, nougat and caramel, just like the classic sweet treat.
We know what you're thinking: will the Twix drink be a caramel biscuit infusion? If the delicious chocolate bars are anything to go by, you'd imagine so - and I think it's a safe bet that we're all looking forward to conducting the research on this one.
According to the packaging, the chocolate pods are compatible with Dolce Gusto coffee machines, although you may be able to use them in other similar designs.
You'll be able to mix the chocolate pods with whichever kind of milk you fancy as long as your machine is compatible.

Mars has also created Milky Way hot chocolate pods but it doesn't look like these will be stocked in Aldi for now.
Buyers seems pretty keen on the prospect of Mars and Twix drinks too - one person tweeted: "I am all over these."
While another said: "I'd like to say that dolce gusto twix hot chocolate pods and galaxy instant hot chocolate are the best on the market at the moment."
Similarly, you can also get your hands on Maltesers and Galaxy hot chocolate pods at other supermarkets to satisfy your sweet tooth. Good news!

Need another chocolate fix outside of hot drinks? A slice of this new Maltesers Smash Cake will be the perfect solution.
Nestled inside a ready-to-smash chocolate dome are tasty Maltesers sitting on top of a sponge cake.
As well as being topped with Maltesers, the cake itself is flavoured with malt and slathered with chocolate buttercream to make a heavenly concoction.

The cake is perfect for sharing, containing enough for 16 portions, and will be available in ASDA from 28 January. And at £14, that equates to just 84p a portion. Bargain.
Christmas may be over but with the icy temperatures still hanging about, you have every excuse for moments of extra chocolatey indulgence.
