I made it with Splenda for a diabetic neighbor who had been in the hospital. He loved it and said it was the best he'd ever had.

I also added a sprinkle of Penzy's Baking Spice, which is really good on any hot cocoa or coffee.

This was wonderful! I used brewed coffee in place of the water, and added a dash of cinnamon. The whole family loved it.

This recipe is so delicious, my family asks for it over and over. It's one we'll be making many more times and putting in my recipe box.

This was a great recipe. I didn't use the almond extract and it was still delicious.
