EVERYONE. This spiked hot chocolate recipe is the mecca of all hot chocolates. Why? One word–
Amaretto.
Amaretto has such a yummy, almondy flavor and it pairs perfectly with hot chocolate! Amaretto is a sweet Italian liquor and it tastes and smells like the most perfect almond extract on this planet! I love it in this dairy free hot chocolate recipe not only for the flavor but because it’s easy drinking!

Gah I LOVE amaretto! It’s dangerous though because it’s so tasty! Genius to put it in hot chocolate..yum!!
You should make the days of healthy cookies longer and have guest posters…like moi! 🙂
That is a good idea! Hillary from Nutrition Nut on the Run had an idea of doing a blogger cookie swap. Yes. Love.
So I was checking this post out to share and realized…I don’t think I get notified when you reply to me! Just wanted to let you know!
Also seriously we should do a cookie swap IRL with twin cities bloggers! How fun would that be??
