Almond Hot Chocolate

Hot cocoa is a classic that makes it possible to enjoy a chocolaty dessert as a comforting drink. Have you ever tried making hot chocolate with almond milk? The light, nutty flavor and creamy texture of this plant-based beverage goes perfectly with rich, melted chocolate and a dash of vanilla. For a really luxurious taste, try this with a good-quality chocolate brand such as Guittard.
