Mayan hot chocolate
There isn’t much as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate on a grey winter day. It’s been described as ‘more than a food, less than a drug’, and that definitely rings true for modern chocoholics who have those clever ancient Mayans to thank for transforming ordinary little cacao pods into the scrumptious confectionery we know and love as hot chocolate today. Try this cocoa recipe with a kick of chilli to warm you up.
Chocolate and Guinness cupcakes

Florentines
A scrumptious treat of fruit, nuts, sugar and chocolate, these are commonly made round like a biscuit. But we decided that turning them into bars a great idea and you can wrap them in baking paper and pop them in your lunchbox for a snack as well!
