Tammy's Review: 

I love almonds, coconut, and chocolate. I love hot cocoa, too! This is a delicious homemade hot chocolate drink. It doesn't last long, because I keep re-filling my mug! This is my favorite variation on "regular" hot cocoa. My rating: 10/10.

yummy!

I made this earlier this year for a mother's day tea with the ladies at church, and I'm making it this morning, since the weather is cooling down in Florida! It's 71 outside right now, but it's just cool enough to really enjoy a mug of hot chocolate, and this is a yummy variation on traditional hot cocoa. :) Thanks for the recipe!
