Cadbury Hot Chocolate Original is a classic drinking chocolate product from one of the world's most iconic confectionery brands. Founded by John Cadbury in Birmingham, England, in 1824, the brand began with the sale of tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate. Over two centuries, it evolved from a local grocer's shop into a global leader in the chocolate industry, famously establishing the Bournville 'model village' for its workers and inventing the renowned Dairy Milk recipe.

Today, Cadbury is owned by the American multinational snack food giant Mondelez International, which acquired the brand through its purchase of Kraft Foods (now split) in 2010. While the brand maintains deep roots in the United Kingdom, where many of its signature products are still produced at the historic Bournville site, its drinking chocolate is manufactured in various locations globally to serve different regional markets. As of 2026, Mondelez International remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand's expansive portfolio of chocolates, beverages, and biscuits from its headquarters in the United States.
