I believe in miracles, where you from? You sexy thing.

It’s that time of year isn’t it?  Boil the milk Mum, I wants me some HC!  The best thing to come home to, after an empty house that is – Hot Chocolate is delicious, warming and very necessary.  Recent studies have suggested that hot chocolate possesses health benefits due to antioxidants that can be found in cocoa.  I’m one of those people who like to soak up the HC with about half a dozen full size marshmallows, still good for me then?  The first chocolate beverage is believed to have been created by the Mayan peoples around 2000 years ago.

The Mayans recently gave us the blockbuster film 2012, so…swings and roundabouts.  Watching Jimmy Stewart this holiday season?  HC it.  Coming home from a full contact hockey game?  HC it.  Bottom line, best hot drink ever.
