It can be hard to keep warm as the bitter winter settles in and sometimes a hot cup of coffee or tea just doesn't do the trick. When this situation arises we always reach for a cup of deliciously creamy hot chocolate, but what if you're not a milk chocolate fan? Well we have a recipe that is equally tasty and sweet but contains only white chocolate...yes sounds dreamy doesn't it? 

Let's get started....
