Okay so Halloween is still a little further down the Autumn path but I think this chocolate mix will be perfect for delicious drinks with a hint of spice. What makes it even better is this chocolate mix can be made as healthy or as decadent as you like. This chocolate mix has undergone a tasting test in this household and has thumbs up all around. It’s quick and easy to make, you can double the suggested quantities to make a huge batch up so it’s always ready for a quick fix, and you can change the ingredients as you see fit to suit your dietary needs. It’s got a gentle spice to it making it a perfect autumn warmer or cooler.
For healthy versions of the chocolate mix use chocolate protein powder, Sweet Freedom choc shot and dark organic cocoa powder. I love hazlenut milk with this chocolate mix. Let me take you through how I created my super chocolate mix.
10 teaspoons chocolate milkshake powder
5 teaspoons dark chocolate powder
8 teaspoons icing sugar
1/2 teaspoons sachet of chocolate orange powder
10 grams milk chocolate chips
10 grams white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 pint of milk or dairy substitute
Alternatively you could use gingerbread or pumpkin spice for a bit of a kick. I recommend the My Secret Kitchen chocolate powders as they are amazing. Mix all the dry ingredients in a pot and then warm up the milk or dairy substitute on the hob. Add 8 tablespoons of the mixture and stir. This should simmer for around ten minutes and create a silky smooth mixture. You can drink warm or leave to cool and pour over ice for a delicious milkshake.
Fancy making an adult version for those friday nights to warm up with? Why not add a shot of baileys? The orange chocolate truffle one works perfectly for this mix.
Topping this with whipped cream, toffee sauce or honey and a little segment of Terry’s chocolate orange. Just to make it a little more special. So there it is, my ultimate chocolate powder for Halloween hot chocolate and milkshake mix.
This sounds absolutely amazing. I love chocolate and this sounds like my perfect drink!
Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday.
It’s pretty fabulous if I do say so myself!
What a great idea! I love a nice hot chocolate on a cold Autumn night! Will definitely be giving the hot chocolate a go! #MarvMondays
Oh yes exactly that’s why I love this! So warming on a cool evening!
Oh wow this sounds seriously chocolately, and yummy! I usually prefer cold to hot drinks but could definitely be tempted to make it warm. #marvmondays
I think this is why I like it, I usually leave the chocolate chips out for the cold drink as they just get left at the bottom, but it’s especially nice mixed with some baileys in a warm (or cold!) drink!
Mmmm this sounds so good!! Definitely giving this a go.
