There’s nothing we love more than curling up with a warm cup of hot chocolate, especially when it is absolutely baltic outside.

Insomnia has warmed our hot-chocolate loving hearts with their latest release.

Insomnia, partnering with Callebaut, presents the fourth type in hot chocolate ‘Ruby’ next to Dark, Milk and White chocolate.

The first Coffee Shop Chain in Ireland to sell Ruby Hot Chocolate, it is made from the Ruby cocoa bean with a unique, berry flavour. It also, as its name suggests, is ruby in colour and has the natural tone of the Ruby bean. Insomnia has added no berries or berry flavour or colour when preparing the Ruby Hot Chocolate.

Leading the way in new product innovations and always looking to introduce tastes that will delight their loyal customers, Insomnia is delighted to add a new star to their Hot Drinks range and introduce the Ruby Hot Chocolate into stores nationwide from Friday, March 15.

This is not a drill!

Okay, nobody panic, but there is actually somewhere in Ireland that we can get unicorn hot chocolate.

The world has been pretty obsessed with unicorn-related products lately, from unicorn makeup brushes to unicorn refreshers on the Starbucks secret menu.

Now, one Irish bar and restaurant is getting in on the trend.

The Paddocks, in Clonee, Country Dublin, has been serving up exciting beverages forever, but their latest offering of a unicorn hot chocolate has us in a tizzy.

The gorgeous pink hue and the rainbows sprinkled on top make this the perfect treat for our inner child. Plus, it's probably the most Insta-worthy hot drink in the country right now.

The Paddocks is famous for its outlandish drinks, and the hot drink repertoire boasts much more than just a unicorn hot chocolate.

They have also conjured up a raspberry hot chocolate, a Captain Morgans hot chocolate, and a hot chocolate laced with Baileys, marshmallows and Nutella. 

That will definitely keep us toasty during Storm Doris!

Despite trying to behave in the safety of November, everyone knows over the next few days any hope we once had of avoiding indulgence will swiftly evaporate into Winter's sky.

So, what better way to acknowledge the festive season than to combine two of its most celebrated assets in one soul-soothing beverage?

Cue: Boozy Hot Chocolate!  To mark the Christmas season, a number of Dublin’s top bars have added a spruced-up version of everyone’s favourite sweet drink to their cocktail menus.

Zozimus on Anne’s Lane has merged “a generous amount of golden rum” with “warm luxurious chocolate milk”, vanilla ice cream and crushed biscuit to create their festive offering.

 

Our Boozy Hot Coco is simply divine

We love reading about exciting new food trends, so when we first heard about flowering marshmallows we were very excited (and confused).

Picture: Ellen Scott/metro.co.uk)

Fancy-pants New York bakery, Dominique Ansel (the inventor of the cronut), has launched a special new hot chocolate – with a twist.

Called the 'blossoming hot chocolate', this warm beverage comes with a pretty marshmallow on top of it.

Picture: Ellen Scott/metro.co.uk

The marshmallow is held together with a thin piece of white chocolate, so when it is dropped into the hot drink, the chocolate melts. 

You can now get hot chocolate topped with a blooming marshmallow flower

This basically allows the flower to beautifully bloom inside the cup… making it the prettiest drink of your life.

It is worth noting that aside from the gorgeous marshmallow, the hot chocolate is DELICIOUS, but extremely rich and chocolatey! 

How PRETTY, though.
