Nice, smooth, and comforting on a chilly evening. A very good choice for someone wanting the taste of a fancy coffee drink, but without the alcohol.(Although I suppose this would also be just as tasty with a bit of Amaretto liqueur in place of the almond extract.) -
Wonderful after a walk through the sunlit snow! I had no almond extract so I mixed 1 teaspoon almond butter into the rice milk I used. Perfect chocolate-coffee treat. Thanks for posting! Made for Comfort Cafe January 2010. -
I made this for a January breakfast and it was wonderful to sip and slowly enjoy as the snow is softly falling. The bittersweet chocolate and coffee go hand in hand like a bride and groom and the almond flavor is a real high note. Even with fat free creamer for the milk and Cool Whip Light this is a smooth and creamy delight. Made for Comfort Cafe, Jan 09.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
