Sweet Mint Hot Chocolate

What you need for a warming drink before winter sets in:

50g of dark chocolate ❣ 250ml of milk ❣ a couple of hardboiled mint sweets (like Fox's Glacier mints or similar!) ❣ sugar!

What to do:

Bring the milk to boiling point in a pot and add one or two of the mint sweets, depending on how minty you'd like the drink to be. Stir on a high heat setting until the sweets melt and mix with the milk. ❣ Bring the heat down and grate the dark chocolate in until it melts ❣ Stir in some sugar to taste (you won't need too much as the sweets would help with sweetening!) ❣ Serve in a cute mug while wearing a thick knitted cowl and some mittens ;)

Alternatives : Instead of mint sweets, try clove or cinammon...or any hardboiled sweets! I highly recommend trying caramel and mint together!
