Chocolate Hazelnut Mocha

This is a super-easy and super-delicious beverage.. you just need to have a Chocolate Hazelnut Hot chocolate mix on hand and you are all set. I absolutely love this "mocha-like" concoction and this has come to be my regular weekend early-morning beverage.

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Serves: 1

Ingredients: Milk ( 8 oz), Instant coffee ( 2 tsp), Ghirardelli Chocolate Hazelnut Hot chocolate mix (3 tsp)*, Sugar/Splenda( to your liking), Whipped cream (optional), dark chocolate shavings (optional)

* or any other hot chocolate mix.

Prep Away..
> On the stove top, place a saucepan and add the Milk and let it get warm/hot
> Add the Instant coffee, Hot Chocolate mix, splenda and stir everything together
> Stir for a minute until everything combines and the temperature is to your liking
> Pour the cocoa/mocha into a serving Cup and add whipped cream
> Add dark chocolate shavings on the top
> Sip and Enjoy!

My Thoughts..
> You could add only 2 tsp of the Hot Chocolate if you want the drink to be less chocolate-y. I love loading up on that chocolate! Similarly with the instant coffee, you can add only 1 tsp if you want more of a chocolate taste and less of coffee. You can alter the proportions and make it work for you!

This is just a cup of heaven on a chilly Sunday morning..Enjoy!
