A super-rich and spicy hot drink. 

Perfect for when you want an extra special after-dinner treat, this decadent mountain hot chocolate is super rich and a little goes a long way. My partner thinks it’s worth noting that for an extra sugar high, this drink is best served with a packet of gingernuts.
