Lover's chilli hot chocolate
15 min
So, its that time of the year again to celebrate the most overrated and expensive day. Yes, you heard it right. I am not a Valentine's day person. I don't agree with paying double the price to book tables in restaurants just to sit with a bunch of other strangers and claim to celebrate love. I would rather spend that cash somewhere else and celebrate the day in a much more romantic way. Why not make something for our loved one's with our own bare hands? It takes just 10 minutes!

- Combine the chocolate pieces, chilli flakes, vanilla and cream in a measuring jug. Microwave on high for no more than 20 to 30 seconds. Take care, as chocolate burns easily.
- Remove from microwave, stir till smooth. Add the milk, then microwave for 1 minute on high. Stir in the powders, mix till smooth and microwave for another minute. Check the temperature; if you want it hotter, heat for a further 30 to 45 seconds.
- Divide between two tall glass mugs and top with marshmallows. Sprinkle a few chilli flakes over top for that extra sizzle!
