Hazelnut and Cinnamon Hot Chocolate

CALLING ALL YOU CHOCOLATE LOVERS!

It's that time of year where you just want to snuggle up on the sofa with a blanket, film and hot chocolate... so here is something a little bit different. This is definitely a treat but is so worth the calories! Here is a recipe for a hazelnut and cinnamon hot chocolate... it has been tried and tested by a few of my friends and they LOVED it! So, if you're interested... carry on reading (its easy!)

YOU WILL NEED

Ingredients:

Chocolate and hazelnut spread 

Cinnamon

Milk

Whipped cream (optional)

Cocoa powder (optional)

Equipment:

Mug

Saucepan 

Spoon

STEP ONE

Pour the milk into your chosen mug (just for measuring purposes) and then transfer this into a saucepan. Heat the milk on a medium setting, just enough that the chocolate will melt into it later on.

STEP TWO

Once the milk has heated up a little bit, add a spoonful (or two... ) of chocolate hazelnut spread. If making a big batch I would just add a spoonful per person (this is a dessert spoon). Keep stirring the mixture so the chocolate is dispersed throughout. 

STEP THREE

Then add a pinch of cinnamon to the chocolatey yumminess!

This is just to make it a bit more Christmassy... 

STEP FOUR

Once everything is mixed together and heated, pour the hot chocolate back into your mug.

STEP FIVE

It really doesn't NEED it (it is quite rich)... but you can top the drink off with some whipped cream and...

...a dust of cocoa and cinnamon!

FINISHED!

Now, sit down...get all cosy and sip on this delicious, chocolatey cup of joy! 

Enjoy!
