Toasty Almond Hot Chocolate

We are in the midst of yet another cold snap and I, for one, am totally over it. While my heart tells me I should be sippin’ on strawberry watermelon mojitos and munching on roasted coconut popsicles by now, my frozen toes tell me otherwise. Though I know we’re all probably sick of hot cocoa by now, I recently discovered a new variation that’s beyond delicious and may make the frigid temperatures bearable, at least for a few minutes.

5. Whipped cream (optional)
6. Chocolate shavings (optional, but recommended!)

Instructions

1. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, preheat oven to 350 degrees and toast almonds for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye on them so they don't burn.

3. Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream, toasted almonds and chocolate shavings!
