Amaretto Hot Chocolate
Decadently delicious hot chocolate with amaretto and your favorite toppings. Just omit the amaretto and let your little ones enjoy too.
I was inspired by this recipe Amaretto Hot Chocolate | The ultimate Spiked Hot Chocolate Recipe! (delightfulemade.com). So, I adapted it to make a quicker hot chocolate that was really tasty. Use Swiss Miss dark chocolate hot cocoa packets. I am the only one in our house who isn’t lactose intolerance, so I used almond milk. I was very surprised that it was so good. The calories in 1 cup of almond milk are 60 so if you want to indulge but want to be calorie conscience then this is for you.
Now that the temperature has dropped it is time to enjoy some hot adult beverages. This amaretto hot chocolate is decadent, indulgent and delicious. Looking for an even more indulgent recipe be sure to check out the link from delightful made and make your own hot chocolate.
Amaretto has a sweet almond flavor so topping with sliced almonds really enhances that flavor. This takes your hot chocolate to the next level.
This is something I would serve at a party because it was so pretty to look at. I enjoyed this in my pajamas under my Christmas blanket watching one of my favorite movies ELF. If you have young ones in your house or a non-drinker just leave out the amaretto and everyone can enjoy!
