Hot chocolate

Gran Hermano

As it's the season of good will, here's a couple of recent finds I've come across that might be of interest to those interested in hot chocolate
(I realise not everyone can be perfect and enjoy espresso ! )

I've recently purchased a box of each and will try them out for both mochas and hot chocolates over Christmas.

I bought a bag of that Chocolate Abyss for a Christmas pressie for my better half - looking forward to sampling it myself!

I bought the Bulters Hot Chocolate Things myself and found them pretty nice and generally good value too.

my favourite way to make hot chocolate:

chop or grate a few squares of your favourite chocolate (milk, plain or white) and steam it in a little milk. When melted top up with hot milk.

If you don't have a steam wand just whisk it in a pot.

In Belgian cafes you just get a glass of hot milk and a few squares of Belgian chocolate to stir in to it yourself. Ends up a little bitty but tastes great.

All you need is chocolate and milk - the better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate!

I got the Butler's ones as a gift, they're quite nice. I forgot I had them and am going to make some now
