Tasted good, but too many calories for a beverage.

People-get a grip!!! It is a special drink, probably not something I would drink every morning but something that is a real treat as a special occassion treat! I would love to see what all the food police have in their fridges!!!!

Unbelievably yum!!! I will probably cut back on the sugar a little next time, but I love it!

I have not made this recipe yet but I have flagged it to try. Sounds yummy to me. As I do with most recipes, I QUIETLY change ingredients I know I can to suit my personal preferences and requirements without altering the outcome. With reference to all the negative comments....I think we need to start invading the Food Police websites and start making comments on how to make recipes more fattening and tastier, of course without trying the recipe. Let them see how it feels to read 100 of personal opinion reviews for 1 informative one.

Found this recipe yesterday, made it today. I also cut the brown sugar to half a cup since my hubby doesn't like too sweet. Yummy. Will be making again.

Haven't tried yet, but also getting tired of the negative comments. Don't comment if you haven't tried.

This was just wonderful.

This is a Very good drink. If you drink Starbucks Mochas, they are just as bad. Just remember, everything in moderation, will not harm you. Enjoy this as a treat. Not a morning habit. Jbhickory6 has a good alternate. That was also great!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe Maria ; )

FYI: SUGAR TWIN MAKES A TOTALLY SUGAR FREE BROWN SUGAR SUBSTITUTE THAT YOU CAN USE SPOON FOR SPOON. I AM DIABETIC AND USE IT ALL THE TIME IN PLACE OF BROWN SUGAR. ALSO, FYI, BE CAREFUL WHEN USING SPLENDA IN A RECIPE. I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE 1/2 TSP SPLENDA TO 1 TSP SUGAR SUBSTITUTION. OTHERWISE IT COMES OUT SO SWEET YOU CAN'T EAT IT. I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET. BUT PLAN TO, USING THE SUGAR TWIN.
