Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In the fridge for up to 3 days. It is just as delicious reheated the next day or a couple of days after that! 
To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: A high powered blender helps to make the chocolate mix as smooth as possible
Tip 2: Heat over a low heat, don't overheat it.
Tip 3: Try adding a spoon of peanut butter for extra creaminess.
