Almond Butter Hot Chocolate

There’s nothing like a warm mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. It’s a special treat when it has a hint of almond. This can be made with dairy or non-dairy milk.  Either way it’s delicious. Makes 2 servings so you can share!

Ingredients:

2½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1½ oz dark chocolate, chopped.

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoons sugar (more to taste)

2 tablespoons almond butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

            Directions:

1      Bring milk to boil in a medium saucepan.

2      In the meantime, combine the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey and vanilla in a blender.

3      Once the milk is hot, add it to the blender with the other ingredients.

4      Secure the lid and slowly increase the speed.

5      Blend until it is creamy and smooth.

6      Top with whipped cream if you want to be totally decadent.

Enjoy!
