We love that Caotina Chocolate Drink Mix can be used with both hot and cold milk, for a warm and toasty winter treat or a summery chilled beverage, and that its vegan and gluten-free. So much to love about this brand, but most importantly, their products taste amazing. Without a doubt, their mix made the creamiest and most decadent cup of hot chocolate we have ever had. We topped our drinks with some whipped cream, chocolate shavings and some Valentine’s sprinkles – because why not?!
We also have created a brand new cookie recipe, specifically to pair with this incredibly delicious hot chocolate and I have to say, these cookies are a hit! Say hello to our Cinnamon Raisin Orange Shortbread. They are a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet, a little bit citrusy and a whole lot of yummy. Shortbread is a beautiful base for a myriad of flavours and these particular flavours go perfectly together. Don’t take our word for it though! Try them at home and let us know what you think!
