CHOCOLATE SPREAD GETS DECADENT!
Here’s something a little bit special to spread on your croissants, especially around Christmas when it’s absolutely fine to have chocolate in the morning! If you can, try and use vanilla espresso (I used a Nespresso pod). It’s not essential, and regular espresso will work just as well, but it really levels-up this spread. You can also play with different chocolate and maybe use coffee flavoured or vanilla bean chocolate or even chilli chocolate!
