The key word, and ingredient, here is chocolate! And this Mint Hot Chocolate is definitely all about the chocolate - it's rich, thick, creamy and packed full of chocolate on chocolate. Instant hot chocolate powder is cocoa powder based and usually has added milk powder and sugar, which can make it overly sweet. It also ends up in a thinner consistency and not as rich, as you're missing the cocoa butter in the chocolate. This is the ultimate mint hot chocolate, so put that instant hot chocolate powder back in the cupboard and make it with drinking chocolate. You'll thank me on this one!
