The best hot chocolate ever. Ever.
Now I take a lot of pride in my cooking and I usually make everything from scratch, because most of the time because it always taste better than the things I can buy.
This Loving Earth hot chocolate mix is the exception. As soon as I run out, another one must replace is immediately. God forbid I be without it for even one day.
I adore drinking this with some of my almond choc chip cookies and strawberries. Heaven. No matter what, my hot chocolate will always be quite hot, cupped in my hands and sending nourishment to my body.
Loving Earth are the brand that I trust with everything. They are a super duper Melbourne company that if you haven’t heard of them, all I can say is that you need them in your life. Their chocolate is life changing and all their other products are to die for. Their products are the reason this hot chocolate is lifted to the next level. Thank you Loving Earth !
