Ingredients
- ½ cup Essential Chicken Bone Broth (or Steakhouse Beef Bone Broth for a savory-sweet balance)

-
1 tablespoon honey (or your favorite natural sweetener like maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
Note: This is a recipe, but feel free to do things your own way! You can use 80% chocolate, maple syrup as a sweetener, or marshmallows on top at the end if you prefer!
