I’m trying to convince myself it’s Spring, but we’re at the end of January and it’s still very much freezing. Christmas is over and so is New Year and really, we don’t have that much to look forward to other than the summer. A nice warm drink always gets me through the cold days and I look forward to having something that will warm me throughout. I like hot chocolate, but I hate the horrible store-bought powders you get. It just doesn’t taste right. I’ve been making this recipe for a few years now due to how easy it is and how good it tastes. The best part? It only takes two ingredients and less than ten minutes to make.
All you need is milk and Nutella. That’s it. Unless you want to smother it in cream, marshmallows and various chocolate sprinkles like I did (and I’ll admit, I done that purely for the photos). I tend to measure out the milk using my mug as that’s the best way to get the right amount. Pouring the milk directly in the pan means I either make way too much, or not enough. Heat up the milk and add 2-3 spoonfuls of Nutella. If you’re making 4 or so cups, obviously add more Nutella. How much Nutella you add just depends on how much you like it and how much you’re making. The colour should be a mid to dark brown. Stir it all in and watch it melt away. Pour into your mug and there you are! The perfect Nutella hot chocolate. It’s so simple.
You’ll be left with a thick skin of Nutella on the top that you have to drink through to get to the hot chocolate. It truly is the greatest hot chocolate I’ve ever tried and nothing quite compares. It’s great for people of all ages and my whole family love this drink, it’s a household favourite. It truly is a winter warmer that will make you feel satisfied. It’s not too sickly either, which I find hot chocolate from cafes can be.
Have you ever tried this before? Tweet me a picture if you make it, I’d love to see what you all think.
Lots of love,
I think I need to go try this out right now
YES YES YES I WILL be trying this as I LOVE Nutella and Hot chocolate!!!!! Mmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*adds Nutella to shopping list*
This looks incredible, will be making this
I love this idea! I always forget that Nutella can be used for hot chocolate instead of “the usual” chocolate syrup! It so appropriate for #nationalhotchocolateday
This sounds so incredibly indulgent. YUMMY! Definitely a drink for these cold winter nights xxx
My 4 year old would love this so much!! I’ll have to try it!
This looks so yummy. Spotted it on Twitter earlier.
This sounds pretty amazing, I wonder whether it would work the same with soya milk which is what I usually drink. Might be worth a go x
I love Nutella anything, however I can’t buy it as once that jar is open I will just eat it all with a spoon haha
Oh this looks so nice! I MUST try xo
I have never ever thought of doing this! Why have I not done this?! This is genius!
Oh my goodness! I will soooo be trying this!
I totally love Nutella, I love mine with my fruit salad, your hot chocolate looks delicious 🙂
I have seen your post on twitter, instagram etc, and each time I see it, it makes my mouth water more everytime. I will be making this tonight. Just going to nip to shop after tea to buy some nutella. xx
I am not a massive hot chocolate fan, mainly due to that powdery sugary sickliness. However, I am not sure if I personally would like a Nutella version, however I know my children would! Thanks for the tip

This sounds delicious, I love Nutella so much and I agree, I’m not a big fan of shop bought powder hot chocolates, they are no match for a properly made cup!
