You’re probably seeing valentine day special recipes and ideas everywhere on the internet. For me personally Valentine Day dessert should be something cozy as we’re in middle of winter, something that is not too complicated or requires many ingredients, thus keeping it fuss-free.
Hot Chocolate mix is one such dessert recipe that you can prepare in advance and in just 2 minutes you can have it ready. Imagining snuggling up on couch post dinner, with some candles, rom-com movie, and sipping on some hot chocolate with whipped cream.
Make this recipe this Valentines Day and make your valentine or loved ones feel extra special.
