  1. We loved this cocoa drink with the semisweet chocolate and Amaretto!. So easy to make a very nice treat on a chilly evening. Would like to try it with the bittersweet chocolate too! Thank you sweets for sharing! Made and reviewed for the Please Review My Recipe tag game.
     
  2. What a surprise this treat was as I thought just water and chocolate, without any type of dairy, would not tatste as good. I didn't miss the diary for this cocoa at all. Made as written for one serving using half semisweet and 1/2 bittersweet and since it was morning, used the vanilla. Thanks for sharing a great chocolate drink!! Made for 123 Tag Game.
     
  3. This is a wonderful and delicious treat. What's not to love when it comes to chocolate and Amaretto? This was very simple and it really hit the spot! I did not use the optional orange peel. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. Wow! Chocolate Almond Cocoa, what a lovely treat. I enjoyed this hot cup of decadence. It was quick & easy to make, rich, thick, smooth and velvety, it was so good. I used bittersweet chocolate and Amaretto, I dusted the whipped cream with homemade hot chocolate mix. Another one for the keeperbox. Thanks Annacia.
     
  5. Very, very nice! I did however, use the vanilla extract instead of either the Grand Marnier or Amaretto, but I cut it to 1 tsp, then added 1/2 tsp of orange extract! That said & done, this is a great tasting [very deluxe!] chocolate drink! Many thanks!
