If you're tired of festive hot drinks this winter, this Yorkshire cafe's amazing invention will make you fall back in love with hot chocolates all over again.
Winter calls for hot chocolates warming the air between gloved hands as you make clouds as you exhale, walking along the high street, waiting for the snow to fall.
There really isn't a wintry experience like it. The hot chocolate has become a British classic, but this year it's had an incredible makeover courtesy of a brilliant little cafe that's just under an hour away from Leeds.
Pom's Kitchen in Sheffield has reimagined the classic hot chocolate, adding on a cookie dough top that holds a layer of marshmallow encasing a vanilla flavoured hot drink.
Even better, the cookie dough is made from vegan products - so no matter what your dietary preferences, you can warm up and take a guilt-free bite of this delicious treat.
For those looking for a snack and a hot drink in one, this is going to be your new favourite - we promise.
The combination of sweet flavours, both hot and cold, will get you through any cold day in Yorkshire. We're thinking of ordering some for a winter walk, or even just the train home from Sheffield (any and all excuses are welcome).
The hot chocolates were introduced at the cafe earlier this year, but Pom's Kitchen has released varying flavours based on the seasons. During the lead up to Halloween, the company provided customers with a cookie monster version, complete with blue cookie dough and googly eyes.
The hot chocolates are a staple on Pom's Kitchen menu, but the Australian-inspired cafe specialises in all things colourful and sweet.
Think rainbow bagels, neon hot dogs and freakshakes with just about anything your sweet tooth could desire on top.
If you're lucky, you'll catch the likes of maple spiced stroopwafel lattes, topped with a whole gooey caramel stroopwafel on the menu, but the everchanging eclectic combination of hot and cold drinks means that you'll always find something new at Pom's Kitchen.
To add to their plentiful menu, the cafe also sell stocking filler presents like candles and chocolate as well as full-sized hampers filled with cute, personal gifts for the people you love, all based around their favourite food, drink or colours.
For more information or to grab a cookie dough hot chocolate for yourself, visit Pom's Kitchen on Sharrowvale Road, Sheffield.

Popular New York-style pizza pop-up confirms opening date for first takeaway in Leeds
Clementine Hall
New York-style pizza pop-up, Edges Pizza, is set to open in Leeds.
Last summer you may have had the privilege to enjoy a slice of Edges Pizza at one of their many pop-up residences across the city.
Their longest stint was at the sun-drenched roof terrace of Green Room, and it's safe to say their pizza went down an absolute treat.
Since then they've been a little quiet, but all for good reason it seems.

Edges will be opening their doors in Leeds city centre on Thursday 18 June in a vacant railway arch at Fourth Court on Bridge Road in Leeds' Holbeck area.
It won't be your average pizza shop though, you'll have to preorder for now but trust us - it's worth it.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Edges said: "WE FINALLY HAVE an opening date, Thursday 18th June! All pizzas are pre-ordered like we have always done, and are slightly limited for now (still looking for helping hands!!!). The pre-orders will open the day before at 12pm via our Storekit link.
"We’ll be then opening Wednesday to Friday, 4-9pm and Saturday & Sunday 3-9pm. If there are still remaining slots left on the day, you can order up to an hour before the collection time. We have limited seating, for those who travel and would like to eat in. There is plenty of car parking space, to pick up your pizza, too.
"We can’t wait to see you all soon & more importantly, we can’t wait to start making some good food for you again."
We can't wait to get our hands on a coveted Edges pizza slice again, so you best believe we'll be there at the opening with bells on.
