Made with coffee granules (decaf) and hazelnut creamer - go good. Not as strong as most coffee drinks whick I like.

I make this all the time! MOST EXCELLENT! As for the question about the instant chocolate drink mix, that is what you use to make a glass of chocolate milk. I use the store brands which are much much cheaper than name brand ones and the end product is WONDERFUL--Nice and creamy. For an additional flavor change, try a pack of Orange Kool-Aid mix--Yummy!

My mother would make a large container of this when I was a child. I am 51 and still enjoy this recipe and have passed to to my daughters!

This was creamy and not lumpy like when you use cocoa. It had a good taste. I used hazlenut flavored nondairy creamer. GOOD!
