Whilst hot chocolate is usually a bit of an indulgent treat, in the winter we like to have it quite a lot, especially around Christmas time. So it's good to find ways to lighten it up a little.u003cbr/u003eWe use a mixture of u003cstrongu003eskimmed milku003c/strongu003e (you could still use semi-skimmed, whole or even nut) and u003cstrongu003ecoconut milku003c/strongu003e so you get all of the creamy flavour without a lot of calories. Plus, we like the little hint of coconut flavour in there.u003cbr/u003eWe used just a little bit of honey to sweeten this hot chocolate, but it isn't overly sweet. It's nice to let the peppermint flavour shine through.
