Cooks Notes - Ok, I know it's only Tuesday and it's also only 10:00am. However, I had just soaked some dried apricots in warm amaretto and taken a little taste. The warm almond flavor was so comforting that I started thinking about a hot toddy with amaretto. Then I thought of chocolate. The result is a heavenly dream. Enjoy!
