Rhéo's Sweet Talk
Ginger Hot Chocolate
Nothing beats the winter blues better than a body warming, toe tingling and zippy mug of hot chocolate. We’ve crafted the perfect combination of Rheo Thompson Candies dark chocolate spiced with our sweet Ginger syrup and topped with a rich whipped cream and chunks of our Candied Ginger. This recipe definitely takes hot chocolate to the next level!
If you would like a vegan version of this hot chocolate, swap the milk for an alternative like coconut milk or almond milk, change the whipped cream to a vegan version (here is a great recipe for Coconut Whipped Cream – yum!) and our dark chocolate contains no dairy.
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
