Mmmm! So warming and lovely and warming and chocolatey and warming! I can feel the warmth spreading clear down to my frosty little toes. I made this using 1% milk, Hershey's natural cocoa, coffee syrup instead of the liqueur, and topped with whipped cream instead of milk foam. We had it along with Irish oatmeal for breakfast on this freezing cold, snowy morning--it was just perfect! It's rich, but not too sweet, which I love--though I think next time I'll use a mix of coffee and vanilla syrups. DH didn't like it as well as I did; he likes plain cocoa better. But I just loved the coffee kick! Thank you so much for posting, Pat! Made for Holiday Tag game.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
