8 indulgent hot chocolate recipes that feel like a hug in a mug

1. World-beating hot chocolate

A strong contender for the world’s greatest hot chocolate, this recipe combines the finest quality chocolate with creamy Jersey milk and a dash of cream. Simply delicious.

2. Nutella hot chocolate and s’mores

A welcomed addition of Nutella makes this hot chocolate recipe that little bit more indulgent. This version is perfect for Bonfire Night, but also too good not to try any other time of year.

3. The best hot chocolate

The cream of the crop, this recipe is a happy medium between a rich Spanish dipping chocolate and a traditional British cup of cocoa, meaning you can wave goodbye to that watery thin powdered mix lurking in the cupboard.

4. Ultimate hot chocolate with honeycomb cookies

This is homemade hot chocolate at its finest; if you’re feeling extra fancy, serve alongside a batch of fresh-from-the-oven honeycomb cookies.

5. Hot chocolate with churros

Churros – sweet, doughy snacks of goodness originating from Spain – are best dipped into a mug of rich hot chocolate. Have a go at this and you’ll never look back.
