Nice twist to an old favorite. Very tasty.

I used Ghiradelli baking chocolate in mine and found it to my liking. Made for the "Comfort Cafe", a tag game.

This is delicious! I used semi-sweet chocolate and instead of hot water and instant coffee I used freshly brewed coffee. Since I normally use skim milk I also substituted part of the milk with 5% cream. Made for ZWT Family Picks
