Mmmm….Hot Chocolate with a Splash of Amaretto!

Another freezing night by the fireside, but, tonight I’m sipping some hot chocolate!  Any cold or snowy day is perfect for a cup of hot chocolate, don’t ya agree?  Here's a recipe for my own adult version of hot chocolate.

Of course, you can also omit the liqueur for a great tasting cup of delicious hot chocolate.

Deb’s Hot Chocolate-Amaretto Recipe

1 cup of skim milk

2 tbsp. of Hershey’s cocoa

2 tbsp. of sugar

¼ tsp. vanilla extract

½ shot (or more) of Amaretto liqueur (optional)

Marshmallows or whipped cream (optional topping)

Mix cocoa and sugar with 1 tbsp. of milk in a microwave safe cup.  Stir well to form a paste.  Add the rest of the milk and heat on high for 1 – 1 ½   minutes or until hot in the microwave at High (100%).  Stir well. Add vanilla extract.  Add a ½ shot (or more) of (Disaronno) Amaretto liqueur for a delicious twist to your hot chocolate! Yum!
