Author Notes: This recipe's inspiration came from Betty Crocker's Cookbook. I choose to use sliced spiced almonds along with cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. This is a great treat that is low carb. When I first made this recipe, I used Splenda, but for this version I decided to use real sugar. - chrissyb
