SUNNY'S EASY COOKIE BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For the base: In a medium saucepot on medium heat, add the chocolate chips, cookie butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat, stirring, until the cookie butter and chocolate begin to melt, then slowly whisk in the half-and-half in parts to make a tight slurry. Continue to whisk until the mixture loosens and the half-and-half is completely incorporated.
• For the finish: Raise the heat to medium high and whisk in the almond milk and bourbon. Cook until the entire pot is warm. Remove and serve in a mug with a dash of cinnamon sugar, or over ice as a chilled drink.
