I hadn’t had coffee in over a month, but when I saw this recipe on the Kraft Recipe hub through Walmart, I had to give it a try! I’ve been trying not to drink coffee, not because of the caffeine, because I already was only drinking decaf, but because I have to add a ton of cream/flavor in order to drink it. I’m trying to cut down on empty calories, so adding creamer in my coffee to drink it doesn’t seem like the best way to spend my calories. On the other hand, sometimes you just need a special, warm treat, especially when living in the midwest!
I love how easy to make and flavorful this coffee is without adding in a ton of extra crap that is not needed that is sold in some creamers. If you are cold and need a warm pick me up, this is a great little treat for yourself! When the kids are having some hot chocolate go ahead and make this for yourself.

That sounds ah-mazing. I can not wait to give this one a try!
That’s got to be one of the best coffee recipes I’ve ever seen! I’ve got to try this. It’s like caffeinated candy in your mouth!
Chocolate and almonds PLUS caffeine? Uh… Yes, please! Thanks for sharing this.
That looks so good! I already love chocolate in my coffee, so this is perfect for me. It looks much better than the packet of hot cocoa I put into mine.
That looks tasty.
This sounds really tasty! I’ll only drink coffee if it’s flavored so this is right up my alley.
Mmm, I love this! Hubby is allergic to nuts, but he’s away at work … heehee, I’m making myself a drink!
That sounds awesome. I love coffee and almonds.. What a perfect mix
My word does that look like a wonderful recipe! Seriously delicious!
This looks like the perfect drink for me. I love sipping on a hot drink on a cold night. I will have to try this recipe tonight.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I know my Sunday School class would really enjoy it!
