About this Recipe

Whether it’s a special treat, or an after dinner digestif, to us a shot of espresso is a must. While we don’t encourage making a hot chocolate in your espresso machine, adding a shot to your hot chocolate mix, or even placing a chocolate bar under the coffee machine is an incredible way to mix up your mug. It’s hard not to love it, after all it brings together our two favourite things; Baileys hot chocolate, and Baileys coffee!
