Toy Show Hot Chocolate
The kids will love this easy, tasty, healthy hot chocolate!
It is great to sip while watching The Late Late Toy Show or your favourite Christmas film this festive season!
It’s a healthier version of a store-bought hot chocolate powder. It uses 100% cacao powder which is full of minerals, flavanoids, antioxidants etc. and some maple syrup or chicory root syrup to sweeten it. Cacao powder is available in health food shops and some supermarkets.
Top with whipped cream and marshmallows if desired or serve with festive power balls - see the recipe here.
Sit back and enjoy the Late Late Toy Show with your steaming mug of healthy hot chocolate!
