Hot chocolate is something we can drink all year round, but let's be honest, it tastes just that bit better during Autumn and Winter. It's always nice to go out for a warm drink, however, sometimes you just wanna get that cosy hot chocolate feeling at home.
When it comes to hot chocolates, there are so many ways you can add that something extra. Let's get something straight, coffee syrups are most definitely not reserved for coffee. Add a little twist to your drink with a coffee syrup - salted caramel, cherry, mint, the possibilities are endless!
Toppings are very serious, they finish a hot chocolate off and give it that instagrammable look. Who has a hot chocolate without snapping it first? You can go for the classic marshmallows with a flake or you can go even further and add Nutella, crushed Oreos, mini muffins or even doughnuts - there really are no rules here.
The most important part of the drink is definitely the base, we have written up our favourite recipe for you to try, it's full of chocolatey goodness and always tastes amazing!
