HG’s Toffee Mocha Hotté
(from Whosyababy05’s recipe box)
When we saw that the new limited-time-only drink at Starbucks has MOCHA goodness mixed with sweet TOFFEE flavor, we knew we had to give it a guilt-free makeover. And we’re SO glad we did! Make it now, people…

HG Tip! Got a milk frother? (This is the kind we have at the HQ.) Put soymilk in a separate microwave-safe mug and microwave until hot, about 45 seconds. Froth the hot milk and use it to top off your beverage. Ta-da!
HG Alternative! No toffee-flavored syrup on hand? (Click here for where-to-find info!) Use 1 tsp. light/fat-free caramel dip, a no-calorie sweetener packet, 1 drop almond extract, and a dash of salt instead — your drink will then have about 90 calories and a POINTS® value of 2*.
