Home made Hot Chocolate
As the weather gets a bit colder, this hot chocolate is perfect for curling up with on the sofa. Definitely a winter warmer with the addition of the cream liqueur.
It is so much nicer than instant hot chocolate powders! Once you try this recipe, it'll be hard to go back!

If you don't have Coole Swan, feel free to use another cream Liqueur like Bailey's or even get a bit more adventurous with a Spiced Rum!
