    A Home Made Valor Hot Chocolate

    Reading Time: 2 minutes There is a high probability that I will regret putting paprika into the hot chocolate that I prepared for myself. It says to use four squares per 200ml but I used just six for 500ml. I let it warm up and melt the chocolate for the most part before adding some…
