I tend to make milkshakes with my Cadbury's drinking chocolate powder more often than I make hot chocolate. So the two alternatives for me are:
Heat milk in pan, take off heat, add chocolate powder and whisk until dissolved. Serve.
Put half pint milk, 2 scoops icecream and chocolate powder in blender, blend until frothy and mixed. Serve in two pint glasses. And don't forget to swirl the last inch before drinking it, to get the bits that have settled.
Making hot chocolate by melting chocolate into the hot milk can be nice, but it is a lot more effort as well as more expensive and requires there to be chocolate in the house that hasn't already been eaten.
Instant chocolate powders which also contain powdered milk and just require you to add hot water are by and large horrible since I don't like powdered milk. And if they're diet versions with fake sugar in they're usually even worse.
