Reviews
If you love chocolate, this recipe is for you. Very, very chocolatey!
A dash of coffee liqueur adds sweetness and interest. I used cocoa powder instead of the chocolate and cut down the ingredients to make myself a cup of chocolate goodness.
A wonderful rich dark chocolate taste. If you like dark chocolate this recipe is for you. Definitely an adult hot chocolate, my 4 children did not find it sweet enough. Made 3 of the toppings, the coffee one was my fav.
Another perfectly good chocolate recipe ruined by coffee
This take's hot cocoa to a whole new level! I recommend this to everyone young and older.
