This hot cocoa was amazing! It was rich and creamy, with the perfect balance of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon. I made it with dark chocolate, and it was so decadent. I'll definitely be making this again!

This hot cocoa was a disappointment. It was thin and watery, and the vanilla and almond flavors were barely noticeable. The cinnamon was also too overpowering. I wouldn't make this again.
