Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe
Red wine hot chocolates are here!
Wine + Chocolate = heaven
No, this is not a drill! Red wine hot chocolates are in fact, a thing, and a great one at that!
As winter slowly creeps up on us and the Autumn nights are getting colder, we are all looking for a warm dessert cocktail to cosy up with on the couch at night. The combination of the exotic spices, white pepper and mixed berries of the 6Ft6 Shiraz with the smooth, milky and rich texture of chocolate is one that is extremely underrated!
Whether you are spending the night at home or hosting friends around for dinner, this is the perfect way to wind down and enjoy the flavoursome duo.
We have put together a simple recipe that is easy to put together and takes around 10 minutes to make.
