Boozy Skinny Hot Chocolate
2 weeks ago I pulled my parka out of the closet and haven’t looked back since. My crock-pot now has a home on my counter top and I drink tea instead of water. We even got our first inch of snow last week….winter.
All this winterness has got me in a different recipe creation mindset. No more ice cream, popsicles, and overnight oats. More like hot dish, crock-pot recipes and Boozy Skinny Hot Chocolate.
Yes, I said booze.
It has the same delicious hot chocolate flavor, with a kick of amaretto and the best part is…it’s not even 100 calories.
I think that deserves a #winning
There was a time when alcohol just wasn’t part of my life. Thankfully, I am much more comfortable in my own skin and amaretto tastes really good.
I topped my hot chocolate with some nonfat coo whip and my healthy chocolate sauce which can be found HERE.
If you’re not into the booze thing, omit it! You’ll still get an amazing skinny hot chocolate that’s even less calories… 30 calories to be exact!
One last thing before I let you go…
I’ve been doing some recipe planning for December and I’m planning a series called: 7 days of Healthy Holiday Cookie Recipes. So tell me, what are your favorite holiday cookies/bars/treats?

Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a small sauce pan and turn heat to medium/high. Using a whisk or spoon, continuously whisk cocoa powder into the almond milk until fully combined.
