Hot Chocolate

The Dales Chef

About
In this edition of The Dales Chef we find out about the origins of Hot Chocolate. From its early beginnings in Ecuador, to the chocolate cafes in Victorian times.

Is the ready mix just fine or what is it like to make your own from scratch? Bruce has some top tips.

We talk about Hot Chocolate in deserts - Panna cotta and Chocolate Soup! A Chocolate Affogato surprise. Plus we come up with a whole new desert with Chocolate, Hazelnut Ice Cream and biscuits.

Warming your winter with the Dales Chef - enjoy yours!
