Options Hot Chocolate is a popular brand of low-calorie instant hot cocoa, particularly well-known in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The brand was originally developed and launched by the Swiss chocolate company Ovaltine (Wander AG). It is characterized by its use of real Belgian chocolate to create a rich flavour profile while maintaining a low-calorie count compared to traditional drinking powders.

In 2002, the brand along with the wider Wander AG portfolio was acquired by Associated British Foods (ABF). Today, the product is primarily manufactured in Switzerland at the historic production sites in Neuenegg, though it is distributed widely across Western Europe. The brand remains a staple in the diet beverages category, positioned as a guilt-free indulgence for chocolate lovers.
