This week is National Chocolate Week in the UK and what better way to celebrate the autumnal chill in the air and the rapid approach of winter aka the ski season, than with a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate, alpine style peaked with a mountain of whipped cream?…

Here at FamilySkiNews, we’re on a mission to find the best hot chocolate this season in the Alps.  Please message us your suggestions on Facebook or Twitter.

Meantime, you can find our favourite recipe for Italian hot chocolate in our feature Possibly the best hot chocolate in the world by clicking HERE.

(PS. You’ll find lots of other mouth-watering alpine recipes HERE too… from Toblerone icecream to tartiflette and spiced Christmas biscuits…).
