Mexican-style Chilli Hot Chocolate
Inspired by the fabulous flavours of Mexico, this heavenly hot chocolate, with a hint of wonderfully warming chilli and sweet cinnamon, is the perfect recipe to make on a cold and wet autumn or winter afternoon. We have added a little extra indulgence with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkling of soft and sweet marshmallows. Snuggle up with a good book, a square or 2 of EXCELLENCE, and a mug of this Mexican-style hot chocolate…
