The wintry weather is here - what better time to have an indulgent hot chocolate to warm you up on a cold, wet and windy day?
We all have our favourite ways to enjoy a hot chocolate, whether that’s a straightforward version with milk or one with irresistible toppings such as whipped cream, flakes, or in some cases marshmallows and a flake.
