I don’t know about you, but coffee has become one of the most important things in my life in the morning. It’s so much a staple in this house a few weeks ago I was standing in the shower and my husband comes in and says ” Would you like your coffee delivered here?”

And I did.

And it’s not that it just wakes me up, I love coffee for all the OTHER reasons. The amazing and different flavors, the tasty treats you can add to it and the fact that it goes with breakfast, lunch, dinner and is super effective as a dessert.

Which is why I wanted to share with you this totally tasty coffee treat that has just the right amount of pick-me-up combined with sweetness to make you feel like you are sitting in a cafe in France. And I should know since I just went there this past September.

CHOCOLATE-ALMOND COFFEE RECIPE

• 1/4cup ground MAXWELL HOUSE Coffee, any variety ( Like Medium Roast)
• 2Tbsp. sugar
• 1/4tsp. almond extract
• 2-1/2cups cold water
• 2oz. BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped
• 1cup half-and-half
• 1/2cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

1. PLACE coffee in filter in brew basket of coffee maker. Place sugar and extract in an empty coffee pot. Add cold water to coffee maker; brew.
2. MICROWAVE chocolate and half-and-half in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring after 1 min. Add to coffee; stir until blended.

Once you add your chocolate mixer it takes your coffee with a POW to Coffee with a WOW instantly. I may never ever go back to non-chocolate coffee again.
