A home made hot chocolate with an organic twist!
This is not a post about how chocolate is good for you. In fact it is bad - quite bad and this week I would suggest packing away those bathroom scales!
National Chocolate week over here and I will combine chocolate in recipes with classical music. Loads of other music genres were running through my mind but for me chocolate is elegant, smooth and a classic treat that I nibble on after a hectic day; so rock or the blues can wait till next year!

⤵ Dark chocolate with a hint of lemon.
You can use most flavour chocolates in this drink - maybe not one with nuts, that could be dangerous.

When someone says "chocolate', I think of Green and Blacks.
