Hazelnut Milk Hot Cacao

by

My Hazelnut Milk Hot Cacao is my favorite hot chocolate. I think you’ll love it too!

Hazelnuts are rich in the minerals magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, calcium, and selenium.

Hazelnuts are also rich in vitamins K, folate, thiamin, niacin, and vitamin E, which is great for tissue and skin.

*I buy my hazelnuts at Trader Joe’s.
