Directions

Place the chocolate and cocoa in a mixing bowl.  Heat Almond Breeze® in a saucepan.  Pour over chocolate and cocoa and whisk well to melt and make frothy.  Stir in vanilla.  If available, use a hand blender or hand mixer to make it even more frothy on top.  Pour into mugs and serve immediately.  Dust with cocoa to garnish and serve with Chocolate-Covered Almonds.

Chocolate-Covered Almonds:
Place a metal bowl of chocolate on top of one inch of water in a small saucepan.  Bring water to a low simmer; stir chocolate until melted.  Remove pan from heat.  Working quickly, dip half of each almond in melted chocolate.  Let dry on waxed paper, and serve.

To Roast almonds: Spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350ºF oven and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant; stir once or twice to assure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
