Coffee, coffee, coffee…

I so need you this morning because last night was rough.

The babe ate every 2 hours so I’m feeling like a zombie!!! Hence why some of you may have noticed this recipe was missing the photos and my ramblings… when the babe decides to finally sleep at 7am, mama sleeps too.

So coffee in hand, I edit this blog post so that you can see how yum yum this Hot Cocoa Almond Bark looks. Seriously, it’s perfect for the holiday season and entertaining your dinner party guests.

It can’t be easier to make (and eat)… melt chocolate, add toppings, and pop in fridge to cool harden up before you break it into chunks. The addition of almonds to this bark give a craveable crunch and that sweet and salty vibe that we all love. And oh those marshmallows and hot cocoa make you feel like a kid again. Enjoy.
