There’s nothing better than sipping on hot chocolate when it’s snowing out is there?? Well maybe laying by a beach… but we can’t all have summer all of the time🙃 I used dates as the sweetener but you could swap them out for a tablespoon of your fav sweetener! And you could totally take out the pepper to make a regular hot chocolate! Don’t worry we will get through the cold together😬
