Happy Blogmas Day 7!
Over the years I have made various flavoured hot chocolates, including a salted caramel hot chocolate that I made a couple of weeks ago. I love playing around with recipes and creating something from scratch.
For this post I decided to create a festive flavoured hot chocolate with everyones favourite cream liqueur.
I made some chocolate orange cupcakes a while ago and ever since I have been LOVING anything orange flavoured!
What you need
Whipped Cream
2-3 segments chocolate orange
2tbsp cocoa powder
250ml milk
Baileys Irish Cream
Marshmallows
What to do...
Add the milk to a saucepan and heat until hot but don't allow the milk to boil
Once hot remove from the heat and add the chocolate into the mixture
stir until all the chocolate has melted
add in around 2tbsp of Baileys (or however much you want)
mix well and pour into a glass or mug of your choice
add marshmallows and cream to the top and enjoy!

When the weather starts to get colder one of my all time favourite things to do is cuddle up with a blanket whilst watching a movie/TV series whilst also drinking hot chocolate.
So today's post is going to be an Autumn inspired Hot Chocolate!
What you need
Whipped Cream
2oz Dark Chocolate
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
8oz milk chocolate
Salt
1/4tsp lemon juice
4 1/2 cups milk
What to do...
Start by mixing the lemon juice and granulated sugar together until the sugar has a damp consistency
Melt the sugar in a pre-heated pan and stir until it's dark brown in colour
Continue to stir and add in the milk. Continue to stir until the milk is hot, by now you should have a smooth liquid as the caramel should have melted.
Once the milk is simmering remove the pan from the heat, it is important not to let the milk boil!
Add the chocolate to the pan and mix until all chocolate is melted and the liquid has a smooth texture. Add salt to the liquid depending on personal taste.
Pour into a glass or mug and serve
Serve with whipped cream if desired
