This was a very good mug of hot chocolate. It is very rich and sweet, so I would not be able to have more than one at any given time. But I included the brandy, which I think is what tempered some of the sweetness a bit. I highly recommend this for someone who wants something new for their hot chocolate on a cold, blustery day. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Lennie.
