Weekend plans ⁠ ⁠ We think that this is the perfect way to put a slow cooker to good use! (If you've not got one don't worry! The same decadent hot chocolates can be made by heating the ingredients in a big pot on the stove for 10-15 minutes, whisking regularly to avoid lumps and to stop the chocolate from burning.)⁠ ⁠ The secret to making the ultimate indulgent hot chocolate is to use real chocolate in addition to cocoa powder. The result is a rich and creamy melted chocolate treat!⁠ ⁠ To make your own (this recipe makes 5), you'll need:⁠ 500ml of milk - we've used whole milk for extra creaminess⁠ 150ml double cream⁠ 150g Food Thoughts Dark 70% Cacao Discs⁠ 20g Food Thoughts Cocoa Powder⁠ Your choice of toppings - marshmallows, grated chocolate, whipped cream... And a splash of Baileys or your preferred liquor if you'd like...⁠ ⁠ - Combine all ingredients (except the toppings and liquor if using) in a slow cooker and stir well until everything has combined.⁠ ⁠ - Pop the lid on and cook on low until everything has melted together. This can take up to an hour. While it's cooking make sure you stir occasionally to prevent a skin forming on the top.⁠ ⁠ - Once it's ready, take off the lid, turn off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.⁠ ⁠ - Then ladle into mugs and add your choice of toppings and a dash of liquor if using!⁠ ⁠ Are you feeling festive yet? It seems like everyone has decorated already!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠
