Chocolat Hot Chocolate Recipe

One of our favorite romantic comedies of all time is Chocolat – understandably, considering it stars Johnny Depp, Judi Dench and Juliette Binoche. Another reason we loved it is because the story revolves around a chocolatier who sweeps a town away with her delicious chocolates.

The Hot Chocolate Scene

The movie is filled with chocolate, but one scene that stuck with us was when Vianne gives Armande a bowl of hot chocolate which she loves.

The hot chocolate has tiny hint of spice; based on that, we’re sharing a recipe which is sure to melt your heart as well.
