I love hot chocolate and I would never say no to it, I drink it every morning, sometimes even when the weather is not that cold anymore. I just love how delicious and comforting hot chocolate is and the fact that you can pair it with almost anything. You can even make a serving of hot chocolate extra special by topping it with marshmallows chocolate shavings, or anything you want.

Usually, on the way to work, I would get my daily dose of hot chocolate by ordering it in my favorite cafe, but for those days when I don’t want to go outside and am craving that tasty drink, I would then opt to make it at home.
