Eloise explains: "This is honestly the best hot chocolate I've ever made at home!

"And the best thing about it is, you can keep the truffles in the freezer and just drop them straight into hot milk whenever you want a luxury hot chocolate!"

You can see Eloise making them below - it couldn't be easer...

Here's how to recreate them yourself...

If you want to make an extra luxurious hot choc, you can also add a hefty amount of whipped cream as well as marshmallows and extra chocolate shavings - or basically any other toppings you fancy!

You could even wrap the truffles up as a cute present for a friend or family member - and it's a pretty handy way to make use of all the festive chocolate lying around post-Christmas.

We'll definitely be tucking into one of these today!
