If  “sometimes you feel like a nut”, and could go for an Almond Joy, this Cocoa Colada just might be a quick fix for you.  If you bake quite a bit, you may already have all of the ingredients. Or you may not.  But the few things you need are worth running to the store for. Of course, then you could just pick up an Almond Joy, I suppose.  But, that’s beside the point.

Here’s a super simple easy recipe, for a little coco-nutty twist on hot cocoa! Like most of my recipes, this one too is ‘kid approved’ by our kids.

We threw together this wonderful summer treat on the afternoon of {A}’s birthday, and called it a  Birthday Parfait.

It couldn’t be any simpler to make:

1) Rinse some strawberries and blueberries in the sink.

(Next year we’ll have enough strawberries of our own from our garden, to not have to use store-bought, but these were really good berries, anyway! Big, juicy, and sweet.)

2) De-stem and slice the strawberries.
