It's that time of the year when we love nothing more than to curl up in bed with a good film and a yummy hot chocolate. However, if you're drinking cup after cup this autumn, don't get stuck with same boring old recipe of powdered chocolate plus milk. Switch it up and get creative with our favourite hot chocolate recipes!
These recipes are so easy to make and all include two basic recipes: milk and chocolate powder. Our go to kinds are oat milk for a subtle base, and Cadbury's hot chocolate powder, which is a classic.
