  • 1 cup oat milk + 2 tbsp you can substitute with your milk preference
  • 2 oz Hazelnut Nutpods creamer use code VITALITYVIXENS for 15% off their site

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, 2 tbsp oat milk, hazelnut & vanilla extract, and honey. Stir occasionally and keep it on the heat until everything melts together into a saucy consistency. If you need to, bump the heat up 1 or 2 notches.
