Feast your eyes on the hot chocolates taking the Internet by storm

<p>Stop the press - you need to see the crazily decadent hot chocolate trend that&rsquo;s currently taking the Internet by storm! Guaranteed to give you major food envy, the 'loaded hot chocolate' consists of a regular hot chocolate piled high with a towering stack of sweet chocolatey treats. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="6" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BC5l9AWr9b_/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">oops i blacked out and when i woke up this nutella hot chocolate had already happened ☕️���� #eeeeeats #sweeeeets #nutella #hotchocolate #cerealkillercafe #beautifulcuisines #ilyfoodgram #foodandwine #dessertbae #forkyeah #infatuationlondon #noleftovers #nycfat #london #eater #feedyoursoull #phatgirlzzz</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by ������ (@phatgirlzzz) on <time datetime="2016-03-13T16:27:23+00:00" style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;">Mar 13, 2016 at 9:27am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>These amazing hot chocolate towers are winter versions of the 'freakshake' trend that landed last summer. The freakshakes were originally conceived by Australian Canberra cafe <a href="https://www.facebook.com/patissez.pty.ltd" target="_blank">Pâtissez</a> and featured various milkshake flavours covered in everything from doughnuts to ice cream and biscuits. They have since crossed continents to be replicated by cafes such as <a href="https://twitter.com/mollybakes" target="_blank">Molly Bakes</a> in London and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gbcupcakery/" target="_blank">The Great British Cupcakery</a> in Newcastle.</p><p>Now, Cafe Passion Tree in Australia has taken the trend one step further by making the jump from cold to hot drinks and come up with the ‘loaded hot chocolate&rsquo;. In a post to their Instagram account on Thursday, the cafe said they had released a Caramel Teaser, Campfire Smores, Rose Delight and Peanut Butter Cuppa hot chocolate range and boy, do they look amazing! Think decadent hot chocolates covered in everything from brownies and malteasers to oreos and marshmallows, and soaked in nutella, peanut butter, carmel and more.
