One of the reasons Winter is our favourite season (just until Spring starts showing it’s nose, but that’s a secret) is Hot Chocolate. Spicy or creamy, dark or white, looking out the window while it’s snowing or shared with friends on a Sunday afternoon, we just can’t have enough of it.
Here are 5 deliciously indulgant hot chocolate recipes for you to try!

Another festive hot chocolate recipe from Elsie and Emma is the Aztec Hot Chocolate. You can make the hot chocolate base from scratch, or just use your usual hot chocolate mixture. Add cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper and stir. Top off with some fluffy marshmallows and a cinnamon stick.

For this recipe you will need milk, dark and milk chocolate and a few lavender buds. Stir the ingredients together and top with a generous whirl of whipped cream. Rick from A la Mode recommends using just a couple of lavendar buds in your hot chocolate to keep it from tasting soapy.
