This hazelnut butter hot chocolate is true decadence in a mug. Made with organic hazelnut butter, nut milk, cocoa powder, and dates for sweetness – it does not get any more cozy and festive than this. 

Pairing chocolate and hazelnut butter has never served us wrong – from our homemade refined sugar-free “nutella”, to this healthy vegan banana split and our all-time favourite hazelnut butter banana muffins (with chocolate chips, of course)!

It’s time to light a beeswax candle, put some Christmas music on, pull out some board games, and mix up some hazelnut butter hot chocolate. The flavour of this hot chocolate is unparalleled – not to mention the thick creamy texture. Unlike traditional hot chocolate, this recipe is sweetened naturally with medjool dates. The addition of hazelnut butter not only adds amazing flavour, but helps to stabilize blood sugar levels thanks to the healthy fats and protein found in our single-ingredient hazelnut butter.
