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.
